    Kiki and my daughter after her fresh new cut!

    We found Kiki here at this clean and very nice salon. She first gave my mom a cut after she moved here and she did such a great job we decided to send my husband. He came back looking fantastic so next we sent my daughter! Another great cut! We came with a photo of what she wanted and Kiki nailed it! She did such a fantastic job we are definitely going to use her! That's 3 for 3! Kiki is adorable, sweet and an awesome hair cutter!

    Absolutely love my balayage done by Tracy Hecker at Encore Hair Studio!

    I absolutely love my balayage done by Tracy Hecker at Encore Hair Studio! I have been going to her for years and have received countless flawless cuts, colors and stylings! She is the most consistent and fantastic stylist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. My recent trip to the salon resulted in a drop dead gorgeous blonde balayage and I could not be happier! If you are looking for a stylist, I cannot emphasize enough how vital Tracy is to your gorgeous hair potential.

    Maggie's amazing work!

    My stylist Maggie recently moved here from another salon in the area. My bad, I haven't seen her in 6 months and my color and cut came out amazing (see photo). After a majorly stressful week at the office, her assistant gave me the most relaxing scalp massage. The space is calm and quiet compared to her former location at the mall and this location is so much easier to get to because you can park right out front. Definitely recommend this salon and Maggie!

    My hair was way off and Maggie did a great job at cutting and texturing my hair to fit my hair style.  Will definitely come back

    Best salon I've been too in a while. Clean, modern trendy and not to mention the staff is super friendly and accommodating they offered me coffee and water. I had my hair cut and textured by Maggie. She was super professional and friendly and made sure I was 100% satisfied with the end result. I live about 1 hr away but I will definitely make the drive back here to see her again. I highly recommend this salon if you are looking to get your hair styles and photo shoot ready :-)

    Has anyone been able to contact them? I called at least 10 times this week and no answer.

    I've had no luck. This salon was highly recommended to me. I've called many times and left voicemail too.

    First time trying this salon. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile, and friendly…read moreservice . I felt very welcomed. The place was full of beautiful women getting their hair done. There was good music playing in the background. Talk about vibes lol. I absolutely intend to go back. Prices are very reasonable! Great service!

    I had high hopes for this establishment and I really wanted to like this place. I was so excited…read morefor my appointment. Unfortunately not only was the customer service horrible but so was the service provided to me. While expressing what I wanted to get done I confirmed with Chohee if it was achievable. She said absolutely! I was thrilled and excited and said lets do it, we agreed on a price $400. I thought it was a bit pricey but said I deserve to treat myself. I was sitting in that chair for 4 hours. My phone died. I was hungry and thirsty. No one asked if i needed anything or check up on me. She was attending other clients and overall I felt neglected throughout the whole process. Despite the poor treatment and feeling of abandonment, i still had high hope that I would receive my new look and it would all be worth it. I stayed calm, kind and patient. She then revealed the final result and it was not what I had asked for. I pulled up the reference picture and said to her "I was going more for this look, is this it or were you still working on my hair?" No attitude, no negative tone, just a question. She suddenly got defensive and said she did not appreciate me saying "is this it?" And that she felt insulted. I apologized to her and said "that wasn't my intention it's just that I've been sitting here for hours expecting a different result that we discussed and agreed to." She said if I wanted that look then it would be another $300 and probably another 2 hours. I was shocked. She changed the price from what we discussed and at this point I felt like she was trying to take advantage of me. As Chohee was finishing the final steps of my appointment she was extremely cold, and unpleasant to be around. I felt VERY uncomfortable. I felt like i was beings reasonable and accommodating the whole appointment and to be treated so poorly really disappointed me and made me feel so small. Definitely won't be coming back here.

I brought in example/ inspo photo (just simple long layer cut) and asked for face framing pieces and showed it to the stylist, but the stylist barely looked at the photo. My hair looked nothing like the photo I showed, and it was cut much shorter than expected and the end feels choppy. I gave it more chance by washing and drying the day after, but it's overall disappointing. I had mentioned a few times I want to keep it longer like the picture I showed, but it wasn't heard. I couldn't say much more once the stylist made the very first snip and had to go along with it. It became even shorter by the end. I wish the stylist had been more proactive about the consultation before proceeding with the cut. I got an impression that the stylist wanted to get through the hair cut session as a quickly as possible. This was for upcoming graduation, so it is more disappointing. Again, very nice lady. Not too sure if it's just one time issue!

    Nori is one of the finest stylists you can frequent…read more He has a meticulous attention to details and I super appreciate his precision cuts. He services his scissors in Japan semi-annually just to maintain his equipments in great condition. This helps prevent split ends and other hair troubles I used to frequently encounter. Nori also uses a scale to formulate the hair colors. You can feel assured you won't come out of the salon looking funky. Appointments can be made online directly from his website, or by emailing/texting him directly. He is very flexible and accommodating with appointments. Lastly, parking can be found adjacent from the salon building structure. You can also charge your EV for free too. Amex accepted and drinks and clean environment offered. Can't recommend Nori enough.

    I went in to get a perm and cut…read more The vibe was very nice. Very respectful. His space was very clean and tidy with what seems, state of the art tools. I have had fine hair all my life, but even still my hair has always taken well to perms, always. Even the last one over a year ago. The only complaint I had was the use of larger rods which made my hair more wavy curl than curly. Nori had said that my hair wouldn't take well to a perm, but because I know my hair's history, I asked him do it anyway and he agreed to do it. First he used a more gentle solution because of my pervious perm over a year ago (did not ask if I wanted that), and I didn't know until he was already in the process of using it on my hair... my hair needs the stronger solution. Second he did a loose curl wrap instead of a tight curl wrap. With fine hair (or at least my hair) it needs to be curled up against the scalp. I think he did this because it was a hot treatment perm (which I never had before) vs a cold treatment perm. He didn't give an option. So the perm came out ok on the bottom because it already had the previous perm that was there from a year ago. But the top part of my hair had virtually no difference. If you have fine hair and looking to get a perm, I would not recommend Nori. I'm sure he does really well with all other hair services. To his credit, the perm itself, aside from the lack of curl, was a healthy perm (did not harm my hair) and he did give a very nice cut prior to the perm process. I think if he would have explained his treatment process and how it differed from what I had previously experienced, that may have helped my decision to go elsewhere, before wasting over $200 I had taken a year 1/2 to save. Again I think he probably does really well with the other services he provides. I just think for women (or men) with fine hair, you may want to think twice if you're looking to get a perm.

    I love Angela so much that even after moving, I still drive an hour to see her for my touch ups…read moreevery other month. I've never done that for any other stylist before but Angela is such an honest and talented woman who only uses high quality stuff for such an affordable price. Not just that but she's an angel. I told her she could work as a therapist on the side because talking to her is always so therapeutic and she's so insightful. She makes me feel refreshed inside and out! She always gives me the haircut and color I want and I leave with silky shiny hair. She gives great advice in both life and hair. Korean is her first language which I kind of speak but she also understands English. Absolutely adore her and her work. She also styles your hair for you at the end!! Normally other places charge you $50+ just for blow drying it but she won't rip you off like that. Parking is also very easy in the huge lot next to buy buy baby which is closed down but you can google maps there. Location is inside salon republic and she'll send you a picture and directions if it's your first time. She's super flexible and honestly she's the best you'll find!

I'm very happy with the result. Angela takes great pride in her craft. She discusses your wants.. her suggestions and then incorporates those two to meet your expectations. I also love and appreciate that she's punctual and dedicates her time to each client per appointment. I've been to many salons whereas they make you wait 30 minutes or even longer than your appointment time then rushed to get their job done because another appointment was waiting ‍. Her beautiful, clean and cozy salon is located inside the Republic Salon, suite 509, in the city of Torrance.
