Silva and her salon offer excellent services at reasonable prices. Have had great color, cuts and even wonderful Brazilians there. Silva is definitely a talented hair stylist! read more

Been here a few times for when my normal stylist cannot see me and have had Silva do my hair. Just have been here for root touch ups and blow dry. Was charged $55 for that which is around the same as my regular stylist (my regular stylist is $65 for the same thing but she throws in toner). Only thing was last time I went she tried to charge me double saying because I hadn't been there in awhile that she would need to use more product. That pissed me off because going from $55 to $95 seemed excessive. I was able to get her to charge me the normal rate, but it did annoy me since I felt it was gorging. In any case, it gets the job done for basic, no thrills touch ups. read more

Encino Concept Salon is a nice salon in Rubio Plaza located at the northeast intersection of Rubio and Ventura Blvd. The salon is located towards the back where there are plenty of free parking spaces in their lot. The owner/manager is very accommodating... including, and especially, the esthetician Veronica. We were having problems finding a time that would be convenient for both their esthetician and myself so they came up with a creative solution. Veronica made it pretty much painless. One time, I couldn't find a babysitter in time for my appointment so I brought them. I gave them a video to watch in one of the salon chairs during my "behind-the-curtain" session and the manager allowed it. So grateful! I would also like to mention, though it has been years ago, that I received a facial (and back facial) from here and it left me glowing, smooth, moisturized and acne/inflammation free for my special event. Although I really can't tell you who performed the service for me. I also received a Swedish massage from here but I didn't get the masseuse's name. It was really good though. read more

I found this place by accident and got a killer cut from Becky the Barber there. She's super talented and fun...the whole place has a nice relaxed vibe and doesn't cost as much as the pretentious places where nobody knows your name. read more

LOVE THIS SALON! Silva is now my hair Momma, as she calls it. She has restored my hair to such amazing health, and the Brazillian Blowout looks AMAZING! THANK YOU! Will definately be back for another appointment soon! She is so sweet, always asks if i need anything, she's the best ive gone to! read more

It wasn't the poorly repaired broken mirrors, it wasn't the unswept floors, not even the hair stuck to the dripped wax on the restroom sink. What sent me running was the customer coming out of the facial before me looking as if she'd been in a total cat fight. Then the receptionist telling her how great her skin looked! Honey, go straight home and put ice on your face. I'm leaving, too. To previous reviewers: consider yourself lucky no extractions were done. I, for one, prefer all my scarring emotional. read more

GROUPON STORY THATS NOT A HAPPY ONE!!! Worst facial ever! No extractions! And to top it all off, I paid for a 60 min facial and only got a 30mins. And i had to wait 15 mins to get in the room when i was 10 mins early! Never go here! When i confronted her about the time and the no extractions, Her response "I didn't do it this time" WTF does that mean? And I left with all this white flakey stuff on my face!! By far utterly the worst service and facial I ever encountered! HORRIBLE!!!!!! and this was a bday present from mom, she felt so bad that she made me go there for my bday (and they knew it was for my bday too) read more

Bought a Groupon for a facial for a steal. With all the choices that Groupon offered, I chose this salon because of the reviews and the fact that they used Aveda products. I have very sensitive skin and had never gotten a facial before because of the fear of my skin having a reaction. Hearing very good things about Aveda products from friends, I decided to take the chance. When I got to the store, there was a sign at the door addressed to me saying that Lina, my facialist will unlock the door at 4:15pm - my appointment time. Looking down at my watch, it was 4:20pm and Lina was nowhere to be found. She finally shows up from inside and I found out that she was finishing up on an appointment before mine. She apologizes for the wait and quickly cleans up the room for my turn. The facial itself? Since I have no prior reference, I'll simply describe what Lina had done. (I also mentioned to her that it was my first time and she gladly explained every step of the process) She used a cleanser, vapor and scrub before doing extractions. I don't believe she used any tools for the extractions, all I can remember was the pressure and pain. She then used a toner, a simple mask and some light zapper thingy to kill the bacteria for pimples after the extractions. After, my skin felt nice and smooth but I had a bunch of swelling in the spots where I had pimples. Overall, it was a good experience. Lina was very accomodating to ALL of my questions as well as knowledgeable about my sensitive skin condition and about the products that I am currently using. She recommended the Aveda toner that she had used during the facial and I decided to try out a bottle (so far so good!). I liked my experience so much that I decided to purchase another 3 sessions for the same price they offered on Groupon! read more

One of the more successful Groupon stories. The place is somewhat hard to find and definitely needs a cosmetic lift (no pun intended), but a nice option in the valley. I came in for a haircut & style, which were good (minus some dandruff I later discovered, but the styling was nice) & an eyebrow wax (done really well.) The only thing was that their website said that it was $15 & I was charged $17. I don't mind the $2 difference but that's false advertising & not fair. I left feeling like I was mislead, and that overshadowed my otherwise positive experience. read more

I got my eyebrows done here by Lina and they look AMAZING! She did such a wonderful and thorough job that when she told me of the facial special that they have (facial and massage for $99) I booked one right away! It was sooo amazing! All of the products they used were very soothing and great for my skin. They did this paprika treatment that made my skin tingly but got blood circulating better on my face and she took out all my blackheads ( I had a TON of them) and the massage was blissful! Worth EVERY cent. I highly recommend Encino Concept Salon. Make sure to ask for Lina, she is very skilled, professional, and just amazing. :) I will definitely come back here again! read more

Eddie is amazing... best massage ever! He thoroughly knows his trade, listens and remembers specifics about me and the type of massage I need/ my trouble areas. I started seeing him after purchasing a Groupon, but I've been back weekly since. His massage style is a bit acupressure, a bit shiatsu. Amazing. He's helped me with a painful shoulder, a hip issue, and is soon going to be switching over to pregnancy. He's friendly, lovely, and all around wonderful! read more

HAPPY GROUPON CUSTOMER HERE! ding! ding! ding! ding! After reading some of the reviews I wasnt sure what to think about coming to this salon. I purchased a groupon for a massage (done by Dan) and absolutely loved it. I arrived for my appointment earlier than expected and I was taken in quickly afterwards--no waiting around, no delays, which I loved. My massuese made sure I was comfortable every step of the way in regards to pressure, WHERE i was ok being touched, and actually gave me an additional hand/arm massage even after my full hour was done. How often does that happen? I felt like I got extra special treatment which is why we all go to a salon anyways! :) On top of it, I felt like I was drooling and nodding off because I got so comfortable! He worked on some really tough areas and I can feel like "my back opened up". I don't know how else to describe it but I feel very different in a good way. They didnt even have to ask. I booked my next massage at the end of the appointment without question. They also gave me a coupon to use for my next visit too! Sweet! Im glad I found this place, and that its only two blocks down the street from my job. read more

I bought a Groupon for a facial and was seen within a week. The only true negative to me about this place is the "look." It's kind of old, worn down, that kind of thing. Not a posh, relaxing spot by any means. However, everything else makes up for it. I believe Veronica was the name of the woman that gave me my facial. Now, I did ask ahead of time if the Groupon included extractions. She said yes. And extractions were performed. After reading some other reviews, it may be wise to mention that so they don;t "skip" that part. But I had no issues at all. I really loved that no matter what steps she was on, I was never just "Waiting". She always was multitasking....if my face was steaming, she was massaging my shoulders. If a peel was setting, she was massaging my hands. That type of thing. I've had many facials where they say "Ok, steam for 15 minutes." And they just leave the room. She was there and ALWAYS attentive. So, I really feel I got a GREAT value. And my skin did look more firm and plump immediately after the facial. I was very happy. read more

Silva did a GREAT JOB on my hair -- A cut and color with a lighter shade of highlights added. Everyone loves it! I'm definitely seeing her again. She is absolutely fantastic with color!! Becky Bertoni, the barber, is awesome, too! I've known her for DECADES. Literally! And now, after she reads this, she's going to hit me for saying that the next time I see her. *Hee Hee*. But seriously, folks. I love Becky to death! She is the most professional barber I've ever known. She's cut my dad's hair since the 1970's, and his hair ALWAYS looks impeccable. When I say "always", I mean it, too. He's a real stickler about his hair. If she didn't do a good job, then he would never have come back. THAT is how good a barber Becky truly is! People always compliment my dad on his hair, too. Encino Concept Salon rocks!! read more

I found this place from Groupon. First appt was great so I was convinced to come back. But, after that first and second appt, I felt ripped off for coming here for hair color and didn't get the result as expected. Told Silva not happy with the result but didn't bother to fix it. read more

You must get a massage from Eddie! After a complete consult he went to work and all my aches faded away. An hour of Bliss. It was well worth the $60.00. I now have a monthly appointment and my migraine's have literally vanished! Give him an hour you won't be sorry! read more

I really do not like to write this kind of review for any independent stores, but also do not understand why business owners would sabotage their own business by treating customers the way Silva did with my wife. I bought a Groupon voucher for my wife last year, which she used for a Brazilian blow out and was happy with it. Silva asked her not to buy Groupon any longer and deal with her directly, which my wife did. She went to her salon for another session of Brazilian blow out, however this time it was all frizzy as nothing was ever done with her hair. She contacted Silva and followed her instructions but still did not work, she called the Brazilian blow out directly and inquired about the procedure and found out that Silva had taken many short cuts and did not follow the guidelines and was told that she did not use enough product to saturate her hair, which my wife was suspicious of that as Silva did not use a mask and also there was no chemical smell from the product. Ever since Silva has failed to respond and left us feeling that we were cheated and we will not go back. read more

Went there for the first time a couple of days ago looking to try a Brazilian Blowout. I had several questions that Devon and the owner answered and put me at ease. Devon took good care of me and followed up with me the next day. Excellent service and Value. I highly recommend this salon and it's great employees. read more

Good massage, not a great table. I would have been happier if I go my full hour massage. The massage started about 10 minutes late, but ended on time. read more

Whenever my plans call for a trip to LA I always book a massage with Eddie Teran. Not only is he personable but he listens to your needs and then puts his all into the massage. He consistently relieves me of any aches and pains, I just wish he was closer to me so I could use him on a regular basis. I highly recommend him, he uses a variety of techniques depending on your specific needs at the time and does an amazing job once you've told him what you need done. Thanks Eddie for being consistently amazing! You ROCK! Irv read more

I bought a coupon on Amazon local and thought it was just a so so facial. I mentioned the I have extremely sensitive skin and the only response I got was that Aveda is all natural. Big deal, today (the day after) my skin still feels like it is still slightly burning. Plus the cloths she used on my face were way to rough too. I was disappointed as the place looks old and needs to be freshened up, but I could see it was clean. Sadly, I won't return there and will look for another place. read more

***QUALITY CARE*** After a painful brazilian wax several years ago in Venice, I resorted to the agonizing task of shaving each day. That is until I met Lina! Lina knows her stuff! She is thorough, professional, fast and a pleasure to work with! I will go wherever she goes, that's how good she is. The salon is nice but a little aged; a little renovation would put this place at a five star for me. Lina gets a 10+! read more

Had a great first visit to Encino Aveda Concept Salon. Silva carefully discussed and reviewed my color preferences and options, helped me select the perfect red. I left the salon with shiny and healthy looking hair. My hair frizzes in humidity but my cool style is holding up well with no frizz at all. Great combination of Aveda products and Silva's magic! Silva is warm, competent, and really listens. Although I live on the other side of the hill, it's worth the drive and I will definitely go back. Also enjoyed chatting with Eddy, who is offering a $35 one-hour massage all summer in the salon. read more

Seriously, I feel so fortunate to have found this salon. Silva is really GREAT at what she does. I have never received as many compliments on my hair as I do now. People don't even know if I highlighted my hair or not, because she always makes it look VERY NATURAL! Prices are great too. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! read more

This place is awesome because they do a great job on a consistent basis. They never flake on appointments!

ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER HERE! I have been going to this salon for many years. Silva is my hair stylist. She has a wonderful personality and knows what she is doing. She has gained my trust and I just cannot see anyone else working on my hair. Their prices are very reasonable and it is always fun to get a haircut there. The always accommodate my schedule and I definitely recommend her and her salon. read more

Absolutely wonderful! I bought a groupon and was able to get an appointment a few days later. I had an appointment for a Brazilian Blowout with Silva. She is super nice and friendly. She did an amazing job, I just love my hair! Will definitely be back. Also a plus is she's willing to work with your schedule and will even do evenings if she's available. read more

I discovered them on Groupn as one of the "Now" deals and called to see about their availability. We set an appointment for a few hours later. Silva, the owner, asked me to go directly with her, not Groupon and offered me the same deal. For $85 ($70+tip) I had a one-process color (for very thick and long hair) and a trim. I also bought a hair curling serum by Silva's recommendation. Overall I' happy. If you are looking for quick, no fuss service by a nice, personable Armenian lady, visit Silva, she won't disappoint you! read more

Second time doing the Brazilian blowout with Silva, 5 stars! Doesn't make you wait, very nice person, parking is convenient... thank you Silva! See you in 6 months read more

It deserves five stars for value -- seriously -- if maybe four for the look of the place; yes, it's small and not super-luxurious, but quality matters more to me than aesthetics. I've had three terrific massages here (with Dan, I believe his name is?) and two facials, one with Lina and one with Veronica. I enjoyed them all and felt that their 3 Mix 'n Match for $99 was an INCREDIBLE value. There's plenty of parking, it's clean and cared for, and the staff really knows what it's doing. I've never had to wait for long and no one has ever tried to hard sell me on their products, Aveda or others. The masseuse (Dan?) is amazing. He's very sensitive, very thorough. If you want to chat, he's a nice guy (smart & funny) but if you want to zone out, he's fine with that, too and totally follows your lead. His hands are strong, he obviously has lots of experience, and he never rushes -- I felt that he focused fully on me and applied the exact right amount of pressure so that my muscles were getting worked on but I was neither in pain nor about to fall asleep. During my last facial, I learned that this spa once used (exclusively?) Aveda products, but that their contract is up with Aveda and they're now using other products. After giving me a nice and relaxing facial (with extractions), Veronica offered me a sample of an Emminence Papaya Facial Peel -- loved it. Overall, I had FIVE really good experiences at Encino Concepts, and felt that I got great value. I can confidently recommend. read more

Today I had my Brazilian blowout by SILVIA.. I cannot stress enough to you how much I really appreciated her attentiveness, kindness, and expertise. I definitely will be seeing her again. I have gone to many salons, from BEVERLY HILLS TO THE VALLEY, and her salon I truly love. NOT FANCY, but really comfortable welcoming. She gets the job done efficiently in record time. I SO APPRECIATE THAT. She is truly one person who is genuine and you will be so happy you bought this groupon. read more

Just wanted to write an update to my previous review. I've continued seeing Silva for the past two years and she does an outstanding job every single time. Quite often she comes into the salon solely to accommodate my appointment and I really appreciate how flexible she is. She's kind, friendly, and most importantly, great at what she does. Her Brazilian blowouts are the best I've ever had. Cannot recommend her enough!!! read more

Silva is a breath of fresh air. She does my Brazilian blowout. She is unpretentious, thorough and patient. Next, Silva is going to do my color. I will report back soon. read more

I've been really happy with this salon. I've been going to Maggie for the past 4 years for hair cuts & hair styling, eye brows/face threating, waxing...! I was scared of threating, but this lady does it so smoothly, you won't even realize when it starts and finishes.... and she gets them from the root so i don't have to go back so fast. She is a pro in eye brow threating/shaping! Also, she has a good sense of what matches you or not. So, she will make good recommendations, but she will not do what she wants. She will follow what you ask her to do. I always get compliments on my hair cuts and highlights (even when it's just re-doing the roots)!! read more

Silva, could not be nicer and tried so very hard to get my hair right, but she just does not know curly hair. I went in for a "relaxer". Not a japanese straightener, not a brazillian blow-out, the classic relaxer (if you know curly hair, you know what I am talking about). Silva claimed to know as well, but as soon as she started treating my hair, it was very clear she did not know what she was doing. She wasn't combing it straight, she just squirt the chemical on and expected it to work. It did nothing for my hair. I also happened to be there on a busy Friday evening and she was trying to do myself and 2 other customers at the same time...it was distracting and caused it to take an excessive amount of time. I called (several times) and she told me she was going to contact the Aveda rep. Although it took several weeks, she did re-do the treatment (without charge) with a new chemical and the second time she at least did the process correctly (combing the hair straight while it was being treated etc.). Alas, it still didn't work. Very nice lady, very responsible in trying to make me happy. She just doesn't know curly hair. read more

I'm so glad I found Silva via a Groupon deal. She is a very nice person and very professional. I got the Brazilian Blowout done and so happy with the results. She honored the Groupon price and didn't ask for more since my hair is a shoulder length. I will definitely go back! read more

I have been getting my hair cut here for several years. Silva is great, the whole staff is great. I am picky...I want someone to remember how my hair is cut and Silva does it perfect every time. I also value that they do not over book and make you wait. Nice environment and easy parking. read more

Encino concept salon is extremely charming and welcoming! I was greeted and immediately offered a beverage, with a warm smile and firm hand shake. Silva whom owns the salon, took care of me, she was honest about questions I had, and you can tell she loves what she does. We had great conversation and most importantly everything went very smooth and I LOVE my results! Five stars!!!! read more

I have been coming here for the last 6 years. Silva is always doing a great job with a haircut, blow drying my hair and Brazilian Blowout. I'm always a happy customer read more
