Connie is the best hair cutter and I love her so much. Connie is the best. I love her. Love

I've been coming to have Mona do my hair for about 5 years now and she never disappoints. I first stumbled in one day when I was in desperate need for some color as I couldn't stand my hair getting so dark and I was able to walk in. Since that day, Mona has been my go to. She is a master at color and is always so pleasant. The salon is always so friendly with a great staff who are a lot of fun. And they are always cleaning. read more

Michelle was amazing. Best haircut in along time. She also recommended really good products for me too. Would definitely come back!

Yikes... Came in for trim and was greeted decently... Got a hair wash and trim. Stylist was in a rush for no reason. She washed my hair pretty ok. Then I sat down at the trimming station and she trimmed the amount I asked for, at least... My stylist made me feel judged, insecure and not welcomed as a customer. She doesn't seem like she has any acknowledgment for customer service at all. But this wasn't even made me decide to leave this review. After she was done blow drying my hair it was still %65 wet! I asked her if she can blow dry it more and she didn't say anything and blow dried it for like 30 more seconds. Not to mention, she was snacking on something while doing my hair... very professional. Then she finished my hair with it still being wet as I show in the photo below. Didn't say anything else because I had already said something and I think it's common sense not to leave your client with their hair soaking wet. Went to pay for it and left a small tip out of generosity. Lady at cashier was pretty nice but when she saw how much of a tip I left she looked disappointed. Like be happy I'm leaving a tip at all... Also online it says a trim will be $30 but AFTER I got it done they told me it'll be $40 because my hair is long which they could have mentioned beforehand. Last thing I want to mention is my stylist looked like she didn't want to be there the whole time while doing my hair in a hurry and gave me a bunch of attitude. If you want a stylist who cares about your hair and their customers I do not recommended coming here. Way better options for a hair trim for same price. read more

I walked in and saw Michelle. She did a wonderful job, absolutely great haircut! I will make an appointment next time with her.

Alessandra was so professional with my sister today. My sister has had a stroke and has trouble with her speech, and she was recovering from a broken hip. Alessandra was very gentle and gave my sister a hairstyle that she loved and can take care of easily. I did ask the prices ahead of time for the haircut, and the blow out, so that I would know what to expect. read more

Fantastic Sams - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

I came in a few weeks ago to get my haircut at this Fantastic Sam's. My hair was long (almost to my waist) and uneven due to trimming it on my own the past year, and I usually don't like getting haircuts out of fear of getting it cut too short. I got my hair cut by Victoria and this is honestly the BEST haircut I've had in a LONG time! She gave me exactly what I was looking for (kept my hair long with really nice layers and layers to frame my face). Not only that, she didn't judge me for my uneven hair (lol). Instead, she was super friendly and we ended up having great conversation during the whole thing. I got my engagement photos done a few days later and I got a lot of compliments on my hair! I'm so happy with it and I plan on continuing to get my hair trimmed here so long as Victoria is there! Thank you Victoria! read more

Honestly, I've never had a bad haircut experience and have never lined up my hair before, my main barber was out of town so I came here seeing the name "FANTASTIC SAMS" called in to see if men can get a hair cut, she had said yes. I came in asking for a line up with a taper on the sides said 0 was to hard and did one halfway through she said "ah all 1 now" as giving up on my hair lol. If your a 20yr man (me) don't come here should've payed attention and noticed super cuts further down smh. Also I have never given a barber (when trying out barbers) a tip under $20 I honestly tried giving zero to this place but couldn't because the person whom "cut" my hair was standing over the reader to see what I clicked. I tipped $4.53 lmao. Don't come here if your a dude. read more

These a hairdresser are mot very good in my opinion and the owner is rude and she over charges!

Very bad customer service. Staff debating on a clients hair situation in front of customers. Never should you discuss work ethics with a employee in front of customers read more

I was traveling and was getting really frustrated with my hair. I am always hesitant to walk into a salon for a hair service. Especially since my hair is so short. They were able to get me in with in 10 minutes which was nice. I wasn't really sure what I wanted but I knew what I didn't like about my hair. I explained to the stylist what I was struggling with and she knew exactly what to do. She even talked me through it so I knew what to expect. She was so nice and I really enjoyed the whole experience. I will definitely be using this location as my go to when I am here visiting family. read more

Let us describe Fantastic Sams on Crenshaw BLVD. Torrance. First I called to ask do you have a stylist who can cut Pixie and colour. YES! was the answer so i made an appointment. Michel D. was the hairstylist, she told me quote" I have 37 years of experience" so at start I felt great she knows what to do. I showed her a picture of a pixie cut, with White Highlights on the top, and dark grey on the razored shorter parts. YES! she said so off we go. I walked out of the place 4 HOURS LATER! with dark brown and orange red highlights????? how embarrassing i was lost for words what to say. So the next day I called and spoke with the Manager Mona Izhar, she said come back and i will try to fix it. So that is what i did, more highlights, more bleach after 2 hours I left with dark brown and and deep Yellow highlights. It is very obvious this shop does not know anything about colouring hair, disaster. So after $185.00 and six hours my hair is burnt and the most stupid colour. What do we do about hairstylists shops who destroy your hair and you pay them for doing so. To try and do something about my hair it cost me another $75.00 for a trip to correct the errors and a very expensive purple shampoo to help with the yellow hair. IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT ACHIEVING POSSITIVE RESULTS WITH THE LOSS OF MONIES AND TIME WITH THESE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THEIR JOBS? HOW CAN WE ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE?? read more

I actually really liked this place. My hairstylist was Teresa, and she was very sweet and did a great job with the actual application of color on my hair. Unfortunately, we picked the wrong color. They recommended a color and I agreed, thinking it would be brown with a reddish tint. It didn't look that bright in the shop, but outside, it was cherry red. With my skin tone, I could not have my hair that bright for my work without potentially getting in trouble in my line of work. I had to take off two stars because when I went back in three days and calmly explained that I needed to tone down my hair, the girl who was there, was super rude. I didn't say it was their fault - it was a mutual misunderstanding of what color I was going for. The application was totally fine. But the girl that was there insisted it was my fault so she can fix it but would have to charge me the same price as when I came in before. I could not wait until the next day when Teresa was in, because I had something important that day that I didn't want bright red hair for. Given that the shop was empty at the time, it seems like they could have helped me for less than the full price given the understandable circumstances where a color comes out much brighter than expected. I decided to go to a different salon to get the color fixed. read more

Yirlanny is the best! She's been cutting and coloring my hair for 10 years - I even followed her to this location when she moved up here 6 years ago. I am a professional entertainer and need to make sure that I look top-notch at all times! I happily drive the extra 25 minutes to make sure my hair comes out right! And she's super sweet, too. 1/30/20 Update! Yirlanny continues to keep me in compliments as to how much people love my hair style!!

My first time here today. Very happy with the overall cleanliness, professionalism and caring personality of the stylist. AMina was very sweet and took good care of me listening to me and making a few suggestions. I will come back here. read more

I want to start by saying all of the gals inside were nice and I felt very safe with the standards they had implemented with Covid, which is why I'm not giving 1 star. I booked a blowout, I believe Hengameh was my stylist, and while she was really nice, I'm really unhappy with the results. The wash was rougher than I would've liked. I showed a photo of a blowout I had just the other day as a reference photo but came out fluffy and messy looking... really sad that I'm going home and having to style it myself anyways.. definitely not worth $40 read more

I asked Michelle S for a haircut after being introduced to me by a friend. Having long, straight hair like mine is sometimes difficult to handle, and even though had to simply trim the ends, she checked the length from various angles and adjusted it with a comb many times. Even though other salons set prices just because I have long hair, they don't cut it as carefully as she does. Additionally, her customer service is excellent. Thank you very much, Michelle S! read more

Mona Izhar and staff are the single best hairdressers in the Southbay that I've ever met Mona really goes out of her way to make everybody feel beautiful and look beautiful as well!!

Fantastic Sams - Hair Salons Near Me - Torrance, California

*This salon is on 190th Street near Jons Market off Anza ! I live in South Torrance, not San Francisco. I haven't had a haircut for about 4 months. My hair was getting long and curly. Needed a haircut badly and I tried a new place. It was nice and clean and the people were friendly. I walked in and got my haircut in like 20 mins. The woman's name is Krystal. She was very polite, and gave me such a great haircut, I wanted to post this review. I have been using the same hair cutter for over 30 years and was apprehensive about trying someone new. So I am recommending Krystal. Fantastic Sam's Torrance is a beautiful salon located at 4952 190th St. Saved you some time looking up the address ! Thanks Krystal ! read more

Hello I came in to get my hair highlighted it came out great. The lady told me to come back for her to tone it and she turned my hair orange, I will never be going back here. She ruined my hair and my beautiful highlights I payed a lot for my hair just to come out worse. I payed $190 I'm a high school working student so that wasn't cheap for me, especially to be disappointed. I cant wait to go to school and get made fun of. read more

If you're going to post your hours that you're open until 7 p.m., then don't lock your door before 6 p.m..

My hairstylist moved to another state last year and I've been struggling with touching my roots myself. I decided to start looking for someone that I can go to for my touch ups once a month at least. I called this location of fantastic Sam as it's close to where I live. I made an app and I asked the lady how much they charge, and she said 55$. So I went there and the lady, Mona, was trying to convince me to have my keratin done by her and then she mentioned my highlights have ash color that needs to be treated. I actually agreed to let her do it soon. I went to pay and the lady at the front desk said 75$. She said that Mona asked her to charge me this much because of my thick hair. I actually said ok because I was planning to leave her a 20$ tip on top of the 55$ anyway. Touching my roots took her exactly 10 to maximum 15 min. I went home and as my hair dried up, I wanted to see how the touch up looked. I was shocked to say the least. The color wasn't the same as I mentioned to her I use #7 in light brown. my white roots look very transparent and in some areas roots were not even touched. Check photos for yourself and you can also get an idea of how thick my hair is according to her. I could only take photos of the front. I don't want to check the back even if I could. I will never go there. I don't recommend it. I'm so disappointed at my time and money waisted in this first experience there!! read more

First time going to a fantastic Sam's. Guess what you get what you pay for. My little one just needed a simple hair cut. She has thick hair but that shouldn't matter! I paid $5 extra because of the fact that her hair was think and even tipped the lady. When we got home and my daughter's hair was completely dried we realized her hair was completely butchered and choppy and uneven.! We came back today to have it fixed and a lady named Mona assessed it and literally laughed when she seen it! Laughed at a 6 year old's hair. I told her I didn't see anything funny about it and she ignored me when I said that. She then "fixed" it and it was still choppy. Said that it was because she had alot of hair. Isn't that what you guys go to school for?? Obviously never going back. read more

This place used to be good for men's haircuts but now they have increased the prices even more and it's $30 for a simple men's haircut. Terrible and won't be coming back here. I guess if you're extremely rich and have lots of leftover money this isn't a problem but for those of us who actually work hard for a living, why bother coming here? I will be going elsewhere for my regular haircuts from now on. read more

Drove up and was taken in right away. Took a few inches off my current length for more growth.

I'm quite particular about who styles my hair at any salon. When I first went to do my hair I went to Mona. Mona is the only one I can trust with my hair! My hair needs have been met by Mona for many years! She always does everything perfectly and never dissatisfies me when I go to her for color and cut! She also makes some excellent suggestions for how I should style my hair. She always accommodates my schedule, and I would highly suggest her! read more

Yirlanny Savage did a great job with my haircut and hair color! I used to go to Japanese hair salons, one salon to another, because I was not satisfied at all. My boyfriend introduced me his hair stylist who was good at haircut. I knew she did good job for him, but still I was skeptical. Hair types between Asian and American (European) are different, right!? I am Asian, and especially my hair is thick and naturally wavy. My hair gets frizzy in humid weather. So I couldn't decide to see her. But I tried her hair cut/color last year. I brought a picture of a haircut to show her and requested her a light black color (not a jet black color) to dye my hair. The result was ..... I was very happy. :) Since then she has been my hairstylist. She is the best! read more

Fuck this place, I cut my hair here for an emergency! I asked for my hair to be cut to size and an old woman who cut my hair made a mess.
