I've moved cities, gone and tried other places, but no matter the circumstance, I always come back to Anna. I live 25 minutes away now but I still make the time to drive all the way here because I still have not found a service that matches Anna's, and frankly, I don't think I ever will and that's fine with me. I think this loyalty is a testament not only to the excellence in her work, but the rapport she builds with her clients. She truly loves what she does and takes genuine care of her people. If you are looking for the person to trust with your hair, then Anna is it! read more

I went to Cut Loose for a hair trim on a Friday (late morning) without an appointment. I only had to wait about 30 minutes, which isn't bad considering they only had one person working. The lady who cut my hair was really sweet & did a great job! The only problem was when I went to pay. I used my AMEX credit card. Keep in mind, before my cut I confirmed with the employee that they accepted credit cards. Unfortunately, they have an antiquated credit card machine. There was some confusion and I was accidentally charged DOUBLE of the amount! I don't think that nice lady knew how to accurately use the credit card device. Thankfully by that time another employee had arrived and knew how to fix the problem. But she seemed pretty annoyed and not apologetic to me, as if it was my fault or something. No customer service at all. She also scolded that nice lady in front of me for even accepting AMEX in the first place (apparently they don't take Amex). But I was never told that before paying. TIP: Make an appointment and bring cash! Oh and try to avoid that bitchy woman (I think her name was Anna or something) but maybe she was just having a bad morning. read more

I have been coming to this salon for hair wash and head massage for a year now, my daughter has lots of hair so having it washed for her is so much easier and of course pleasant. It's very affordable, inexpensive and totally worth it. Anna and Shannon are two ladies that we usually come to. No appointment needed, but I love when I have all attention to us and don't have to wait, so always do make an appointment lol. They do offer haircuts, coloring, Brazilian blowouts, straightening, washing as I mentioned above, hair treatments as well as eyebrow threading and waxing. It's spacious and bright and has enough chairs to accommodate all the walk-ins. Can't wait for my long curls to full grow to a longer length so I can get my regular washing and massaging read more

Ana (Well I spell it this way which is short for Anahit-even though everyone is spelling it Anna) is an AMAZING hair stylist. I have been loyal to her and only her as my hair stylist for several years now. I go to her for color, highlights, and keratin treatments. She always does a thorough and careful job. I have biracial hair (being of both African and European decent) and it is very curly and unpredictable at times. Ana always tells me that she loves my hair. She also always knows just what to do to make it look great. Ana's official job is a stylist but she does so much more unofficially. She helps answer phones, makes appointments, provides help to the other stylists (as needed), etc. She helps manage the whole salon and keeps it running smoothly. I hope her boss or bosses recognize that and appreciate her. Shushan is also very sweet and always friendly to me. I look forward to my next appointment with Ana. It is always a great experience! read more

Wonderful stylists, very affordable. Especially appreciate Shushan and Yelena (I hope I spelled those right!).

Don't think I've ever been this upset about a haircut since before the inception of Yelp. Been here for the second time and will be my last. Just want to start up this review and point out the reviews that call out the appointments (mostly the 1 stars). I made an appointment this weekend and still had to wait about an hour before I finally got my haircut. Not only that but I think there were about 5 stylists that kind of ignored my presence. I'm not really that much of a talkative guy if I don't know you or the type that will complain but I wish I should have. There were 3-4 people that came after me that either had later appointments or none at all that ended up going ahead of me. In addition these guys (whom I assume are regulars) didn't need to even sign in but I had to? There was actually one stylist that came in late but waited for her first customer who came in and went straight to the seat. What's the point of making an appointment and wait this long? The haircut itself was Eh. I have to gel it otherwise it will look off. I'll probably go to another haircut spot in a few weeks to fix my cut. Finally, here's the kicker.... the credit cards weren't working (gave an invalid batch error) so I was told to go withdraw cash at the bank and come back to further waste my time. I had to drive to the bank since my bank isn't in the plaza the haircut spot was at. I ended up missing my engagement and going home very upset. I almost didn't want to come back (I won't by the way to get a haircut) but that would be stealing like how they stole my time. No apologies, nothing. Sure they are probably nice if you are a regular. But if you are looking from the outside / in, I don't recommend this place because the service you will get is based on luck. Been here twice. Once before they were ok. Today, terrible. 1/5 I really miss my old barber who retired after 25 years back in November. read more

I was coming to Cut Loose pre-pandemic and Yelena was doing a wonderful job helping me restore my hair luster after I abused it with home box dye for years and age had added to my hair dryness. She worked me with over the course of a year to get my color fixed and my hair repaired as we approached my daughters wedding. But then the Pandemic hit, and then I had cancer treatment and lost all my hair. So this review is REALLY overdue. She, Yelena, always did a wonderful job and I loved my color and trims. I'll be back soon as my post-chemo hair is growing back in and I'm not a fan of my natural grey. read more

Anna and the entire staff here are accommodating and professional! They all work hard and are always busy! This business needs a receptionist so that the ladies can focus completely on their clients. Either way I recommend this business and will continue to get services here. Ana has been cutting my hair on and off for years! She's really amazing. read more

***This is for eyebrows/eyebrow wax only*** Shannon is a BEAST with this eyebrow wax, you hear me? And for everyone fed up with threading and different people's interpretation on how to thread your brows & on how they should look... 1.) Come BACK to waxing... 2.) And come SEE SHANNON. No more of this threading bullshit. Shannon keeps your eyebrows clean looking, FULL and arched. I get so many compliments that yes...I make the drive read more

Ana has done my hair for a few years now, and she never disappoints me. I recommended cut loose if you like great outcomes.

Ana did a fantastic Job on my hair! I just switched over from another salon where my favorite hairdresser left, and I didn't know if I could find anything or anyone that would cut my hair the way I liked it. Ana gave me a great cut and the price is very reasonable. 100% will be coming back again. read more

Najiba is the BEST! She has been threading my eye brows, waxing me and doing my hair for over 20 years. I have followed her when she has changed salons. I have driven out of my way just for her. She is not only that good at what she does, she is so caring and takes the time to make sure you are happy. She takes pride in what she does and keeps her clients happy. Ask for Najiba, you won't be disappointed and you will be a customer for life like me! read more

FRIEDA DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB! I forgot the other women who cut my 10 year old hair (but I guess you can ask Frieda) My daughter had gained confidence after her haircut which was a plus! i've had a good experience with Frieda and she managed to cut my hair exactly how I desired which is rare because normally other salons would make a mistake but Frieda was really lovely and humble. such a sweet worker. read more

The lady arrived late and there were two other guys waiting who didn't have a appt. She tried to get the other guy to go first but I told her I have an appointment at 9am. We had an awkward silence because she didn't know and tried looking at the log book. So she was like "ok what kind fo haircut would you like?" When I told her I wanted an a-line bob she said it'd be better to let the other two guys to go first so she can spend more time with my hair, basically saying she was gonna hurry cutting mine if I went first. When it comes to appointments they should be priority while the ones without should wait it out. What's the point of making an appointment then? read more

I do not trust just anyone with my hair but this place manages to do an excellent job each time. On one occasion I called them almost in tears after having my hair cut elsewhere and they told me to come on over and they would fix it for me. They did ! Without it costing me too much $$$ For the most part I rarely make an appointment as this shop is located in a plaza I frequent often. They usually accept me as a walk in but if they are busy they will give me the option of waiting or coming back. The ladies are all friendly and welcoming. Yesterday I had the pleasure of having Frida work on my hair. I can be a little complicated when it comes to how I want my hair cut ( keep it long, long layers, V cut, short layer in the front etc) but she listened to me and aimed to ensure I left with how I wanted it done. She was very warm in her approach. When she found out I was half Persian we bonded a little more. A haircut will cost you $21 ( women) and they will charge $1 if you use your card. There is a chase bank right next door so I decided to just pull out cash. They offer their clients a punch card if you frequent often. I like places that reward loyal customers. This place is easy to find with plenty of parking. Facility is clean :) Thank you Frida Joon! read more

Shannon is an amazing stylist, not only patient but very skilled, almost to the point of being an artist. You never feel hurried and the other stylists are very personable and efficient at making a new look all the more possible on a lunch break, or after a long day at work. Easy appointments, even easier and relaxing lobby where you can watch tv, read the latest fashion and style magazines for inspiration on your next look. Getting hair colored and adding waxing is perfect for all your bodyscaping needs at some of the valley's most reasonable prices, I'd call now because anywhere else will put you on hold with bad music. At Cut Loose you get a real person and an instant appointment option. read more

Best hair cuts, best dye for hair and best people working their, samira is so talented thankuuu guys I highly recommend and suggest this place read more

I'm giving 5 stars to Shannon for the color, cut, service, and price of my new hair! I used to get my hair done from my cousin who has 2 Emmy Awards for the hair he does for TV and movies. He is now too busy to do my hair, so I have been looking for someone for the last 4 years that I can trust will make my hair look great without paying an arm and a leg. I have tried several different people at multiple hip salons in Silver Lake, Santa Monica, and downtown LA, and have not been fully satisfied. The ambiance at Cut Loose is very clean, and all of the staff was super friendly with a nice easy vibe in the salon! If you are looking to go to a "cool" hip high-end salon I would not suggest this one, but if you are looking to have great hair, then YES, I suggest going to see Shannon. She did a cut, color, highlights + toner, and it turned out awesome! Thanks Shannon! x read more

HORRIBLE PLACE. NEVER EVER HO THERE AND TELL UR FRIENDS TO NOT GO THERE EITHER. I felt they were extremely sexist. There were 3 female hair stylist on the floor attending to 3 different people-2 women and a guy. There was 1 guy waiting and lastly I walked in. No one made eye contact or greeted me at all. I took a chair patiently. About 15min in another guy walks in and no one says a word - he stood at the sign in desk before someone finally approached him....He left. After about 20min the guy who was waiting left as well. Now, another lady walks in and sits. They all said hello and welcome to her. 25mim passed and no one has said a word to me. One of the stylist says to the lady who walked in, if she had an appointment. Lady says no but was there for eye brows only. 5 mins later she gets a chair and attended to.40 mins had passed the eye brow lady left as well. I approach and ask if they took appointments only or accepted walk-Ins as well...to which they say, both. I start asking why I wasn't attended to or even said a word to...to which the lady in the picture tells me to get out and will call the cops if I need leave. What a service they provide. After waiting for 45min for a simple hair cut- I was asked to leave without an apology and was threatened to dealt with the cops. I will also be contacting BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and tell them about some serious safety violations. Please don't go there. That lady threatened me and came close enough to push me as well. Just unacceptable. read more

My hair is complete different lengths on both sides. Freida cut my hair and she seemed extremely nice but she probably cut my hair about 3 times, just kept cutting trying to make it look even. I also asked her to frame my face and that definitely did not happen. I walked out with an extremely uneven crappy hair cut. I do not recommend coming here for a hair cut. read more
