I'm retired and I have difficult hair to cut. I had some residual covid hair which was different lengths and messy. The owner Jill made it easy for me to express the look I wanted and the length I wanted to maintain. She was extremely knowledgeable and explained to me how some parts of my hair are curly and wavy and other parts are straight. Yes the top of my head the hair is straight in the back and sides of my head, the hair is wavy. Crazy huh? Anyway, Jill's evaluation and expertise was impressive and made me confident and comfortable in her chair. She styled my hair with a very lightweight gel and expert moves with the brush and blower. I am very satisfied with look and style Jill artistically created for me. It's not often that we try a new stylist and they get you the first time out. read more

Received callback from Jill (owner) at 12:50pm, informed me that she doesn't open until noon and due to Gov. Newsom's orders the salon is temporarlily closed. Also expressed disappoint that I didn't speak to her before posting. read more

Goldhill Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

One of my biggest pet peeves about hair salons is when you specifically ask for a price range and then they aren't honest with you when it comes time to pay. I had contacted the salon through their Yelp page requesting an appointment and when I messaged I made sure to ask how much it would be for a color (I have dark brown hair and wanted to go jet black) and cut. I was asked my hair type and length, which I gave, and was told it would be anywhere between $100-$140. If you read the exchange, it doesn't say, "$100-$140+". The response was pretty clear that it "ranges from $100-$140 depending on the length and texture of your hair." One would deduce that if your hair is longer and has more texture, then it would run closer to $140. Well, after I was done and went to pay I was told it would be $170. What? Why? The girl at the front desk said "oh it was an estimate, that's why we like people to come in for a consult but I didn't know if you had time." Yeah, because you never asked me. Now this is in no way a reflection on the lovely stylist that did my hair, Muzette, she wasn't the person I spoke to about pricing. She was lovely and I think she did a wonderful job on my hair. My disappointment is strictly with the receptionist/yelp responder. A stylist has every right to charge what they like but a customer also has a right to be given an honest answer about the price. At the very least, she could have told me ahead of time that the price would be higher than what she originally quoted me BEFORE I got my hair done or honored the price after she realized I was taken aback by the price difference. I wouldn't have gotten my hair done there if i knew I'd end up paying $200 after tip for black hair color and a cut. It just felt dishonest and left a bad taste in my mouth. I wouldn't discourage someone from seeing Muzette because her work was lovely and she was very sweet. Just make sure you confirm the price with the stylist and not the receptionist. read more

I love this place. Me and my mom were customers of Jill's before she opened the salon, and we're thrilled that she did. The salon is clean and very cute. I love the antique stations they use and everyone there is so friendly! Jill did an awesome job on my hair! It looked damaged and flyaway after 5 months of having a perm (and not really knowing how to care for it). She gave me a deep conditioning treatment and my hair felt wonderful! She also gave me some free samples of a new shampoo and conditioner they carry! Needless to say I would recommend this place to every single one of my friends! read more

I wanted to color my hair not just from a box but at a salon for the longest time. Well, I finally got to do so, when I went for a visit to L.A. for a week just last week. I had an appointment with another stylist, which my friend made me late for. When it was rescheduled, the stylist was told by her doctor to rest her already sprained finger. So, it must be a little bit of fate, when I found Wes at Goldhill Salon. I was in need of a change in my life, so why not start with my hair? My hair was in need of a revamp - it was dead and old, just like me! I didn't want to lose the length, I didn't want my hair thinned out and wanted it full again, layers, etc. I had a list of criteria yet I was uncertain of what I really wanted. I basically left it up to Wes. It was a long process of consultation, haircut, color, and styling... plus a good amount of chitchat. A total of close to 3hrs, but totally worth it. I think this appointment was a little long not because of Wes, but most likely because of me. He was patient with me, and very meticulous. Regardless I highly recommend Wes, and I'm figuring out how long I can wait before going back to Cali (I'm from Hawaii) to get my hair done again by him! :) If you move elsewhere Wes, you have to let me know! Think of it as a compliment from someone who bounced around from stylist to stylist looking for the perfect one. read more

I had my second visit today and saw Nicole who happens to be their color specialist. After such a good experience with Wes the last time I went in, I knew goldhill a was the place to go for another round of color and blowdry. I was a bit disappointed when I made my booking that Wes wasn't available for the day I needed to go in, however one u got there and saw that Nicole was a color specialist, I knew I was in good hands. We had a common interest in style so she took the color combination that Wes had originally chosen for me, but tweaked the red in a bit brighter for me.., the end result was stunning... I finally got someone to achieve the exact color I had a ways pictured in my head. Great atmosphere, Nicole was laid back and easy to talk to and she knows her shit! Will definitely come back when I'm in town again. read more

Although this was a bit over the budget, I was more so impressed with the time Jill provided me. It was 4 hours and she was extremely kind and patient both !! Jill, the owner, was very nice to meet as well as her son, Jared. It's great to see family owned businesses and the hard work they put into it. I am very glad to have gotten my hair done here....especially because Jill spent time trying to understand what I wanted. Please give Goldhill a try and the business. I'll be back again. Thanks for handling my hair with love !! read more

I've been here before for my 12 year old daughter and J.P. did such a great job that I decided to come back for myself. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted when I went in - beyond a trim and some color that wouldn't require monthly maintenance. J.P. lightened my hair, but left enough of my natural color that I don't think my kids will say my hair is black when it starts growing again. Very happy with my cut and color and I think this will be my new spot. read more

If you're looking for a hair stylist with exceptional coloring skills WES at Goldhill Salon is your guy! I have bounced around from salon to salon looking for a stylist who would be able to create the perfect color for me and I have finally found him! Wes went above and beyond what I was expecting for a color treatment. He met with me first for a consultation to examine my hair and explain what we would need to do in order to achieve the color tones I wanted. On the day of service he took his time and went through a three step process to get my hair color PERFECT! He started with a clarifying treatment to get the previous color tones out, followed by a pre-pigment treatment to give my hair an all over base, and lastly he mixed the perfect brown with a warm red undertone that looked stunning at the end! This was the most time consuming hair appointment I've ever had, but it was hands down the BEST. I highly recommend Wes and his expertise to help you get the color, cut, and style you want for your hair. You will not be disappointed! read more

I bought the living social deal for a cut color and hair conditioning treatment. I had a great experience. They were friendly and made sure I knew what was happening before they did it. Krista was my stylist and she was awesome. Knew when to talk to me, knew when I was in my zone and wanted to relax. The cut and dye job was great she understood what i wanted. Highly recommend. read more

I had Wes and the one positive thing I can say is he was really nice! Unfortunately I spent $33 on a haircut and sadly I will have to get another cut in less than a week. My hair grows incredibly fast and it's already been 5 weeks since my last cut since I moved out of San Diego. Besides my better judgement I was not able to get back to San Diego for my stylist and saw all the great reviews for this place. I asked for scissors since that is what my old stylist would use and would take it pretty close and keep my hair short on both the sides and on the top. In the 5 weeks without a haircut, Wes only took off "maybe" 1/8 of an inch and now I have to pay another place that can get my hair shorter and allow me to go the 3-4 weeks normally I wait. I asked to make it shorter but he didn't seem to understand. I was frustrated and just ended up leaving after he texturized the top. I was excited to finally get my haircut and not require a long drive to San Diego but it's going to cost me the same now anyway to go back there and have her cut it the way I want (shorter), considering what I would have spent in gas =$30 + her price $25=$55 (what it would have been). Now I spent $38 + $33 (to fix this)=$71 so I am truly out on this deal. I will never be going back to this place. And now that I am home and actually doing my hair I noticed the left hand side by my ear is not textured and can see the difference in lengths... Fantastic! Just something else that needs to be fixed. I was thinking a haircut will help me enjoy my weekend a bit and feel refreshed but now I am stressed out and upset that I have to spend more time to fix something that I paid good money to have right. On a positive note... At least I don't have to shave my head... read more

I'm so happy I came here! It's down the street from my home so I pass it all the time and after years I finally called to make an appointment. It was last minute, but they were able to get me in right away with Amy. She was FANTASTIC. Quick and efficient, professional yet funny, and she did an amazing job and was super patient when I kept saying "a little shorter" until it was just right. I got a trim and had bangs cut and was in and out in 45 minutes with exactly the cut I had hoped for plus some free samples. Cut was $50 and I added a tip on top. I will be back! read more

I was looking for a salon to go to, since I didn't want to go to Supercuts to get my hair cut from medium hair into a bob, and I found this one. When I walked in I felt so welcome. The staff is very friendly. Wes introduced himself to me and asked me what I wanted. He gave me his opinion on the cut and seemed very knowledgable. The price range is more than I usually pay, which is why I gave it 4 stars, instead of 5.... But other than the price, the service is great!! read more

I've recently moved to the area and have had two AMAZING appointments with Nichole. I got a color touch up and haircut. She is so sweet, thoughtful, and conscientious.

Making the appointment on the website is so easy, too. I'm so happy with my color and cut - you should definitely go here and get an appt with Nichole if you can!! read more

Will never go back to this over priced unprofessional business owner ever again!!! I was in town for a little family visit and needed my hair colored and cut badly. I looked here on yelp for a good place and Goldhill Salon showed to be great with reviews. I of course got the business owner of the Salon as the one to cut and color my hair. I walked out of the Salon with a bad taste in my mouth as the price for a cut and color was what I would have expected to pay in a Top Dollar Salon. The color was nothing near what I wanted and within 2 weeks it had washed completely out... next time I will try the local Beauty School. read more

I just had another great cut at Goldhill Salon. I have been coming here since they opened, and it's a wonderful place. First, Jill and the other stylists are excellent. Second, the ambiance is welcoming and comfortable. I don't know of another salon where I've felt so welcomed and part of the place. Goldhill is almost like my neighborhood hangout, someplace where I enjoy spending time. Plus, of course, I can get a great haircut. read more

I'll be honest and say that I found this place by accident. Happy accident! Late last week I went to another salon for a color that required full bleach. Several hours later I left the salon not knowing that I had plenty of orange/copper/yellow hidden underneath the "blonde highlights". My hair needed help. I went to Yelp and found GoldHill. Awesome! My appointment was with Wes. He took the time to understand all that my hair had been thru. His suggestions totally made sense. He was thorough in the process and made sure that I was comfortable with each step. He really saved me from copper embarrassment. Plus, my hair feels so healthy and soft. I'm very happy with my new color. Bonus, Wes is super nice as well. He wasn't pretending to be nice, but sincere. read more

My apologies for the delayed review. I visited Goldhill Salon two weeks ago and have been meaning to write this review ever since. I actually started it the same night but life has been nonstop ever since. However, my experience was worthy of a positive review both for the salon and the stylist, albeit late. First of all, Jill (the owner) was able to accommodate me at the very last minute. My regular stylist (at another salon) canceled on me due to a family emergency. It was the first day of school for me (I teach) and I had class in less than three hours. I had met Jill a couple of times at community events and thought of her that morning when I found myself in a "bad hair on the first day of school" situation. I managed to contact her via email and we coordinated a last minute appointment with one of her stylists because she was already booked. I was very appreciative of her making the schedule work. Jill referred me to Wes and he is great. He was friendly and professional and did a great job with my hair from color and trim to styling. He was thorough and took his time. I felt great when I left; ready to take on my class and the new semester. The salon was clean and had a good vibe. I like the vintage vanities. The receptionist, Jared, is a very courteous and polite young man. We had pleasant small-talk and I hope he did well on his (then) upcoming interview. The only negative would probably be the price but it's minor compared to the many positives. I am accustomed to paying much less with my regular stylist at a different salon just up the street and was a bit shocked by the total. I probably should have asked first, so that's my bad. My everyday budget will not allow regular visits (I'm a teacher and I have four kids) but this is definitely a special occasion salon which I hope to visit again when I have somewhere special to be. read more

Jill is an awesome stylist! Wanted darker tones added to my balayage and a little rose gold to the ends. My ends have been bleached to death (by me and others) so it's hard to get any color to stay, but she did such a good job with the color and covering up all my gray hair!! The Cut was actually an inch like she said she would (we've all been there where they say an inch and it's actually 2). Then she curled it with a curling wand and gave me awesome beach curls!!

Love is the best word to describe my experience. The minute I walked in I felt like I had found my new home. Everyone was kind, and genuine. Jill was my stylist and I must say I have never been more impressed by a stylist. She was so knowledgeable and direct. We talked about my hair issues and she knew how to help all of them. While she washed my hair she gave me helpful hints on how better to take care of my hair and scalp. She knows her products and knows how to use them and she informed me why and what she was using and how each one worked. We talked about me wanting to grow my hair out and styles that worked best for my hair and face. I told her I don't do much to my hair and she understood and gave me style tips, that I will use! I got samples!!!! Which is great because now if they work (I'm sure they will) then I will feel confident buying them. I have never felt better leaving a salon. It was worth every penny. I feel like a new person and I look amazing!!! Thank you so much ladies!!! read more

Finding a new salon is a tricky thing. I wanted something close and convenient. I wanted to connect with the salon and with my stylist. And I wanted new hair before the holiday weekend. A tall order. The yelpers did not disappoint. I saw the ratings and the pictures for Goldhill and liked what I read and what I saw. I made an appointment for the Friday before a 3 day weekend. I saw this as a risk because who wants to be the last appointment while everyone is trying to get out of dodge for the holiday weekend. No risk here. Great salon with some very nice and genuinely cheerful people working here. Nicole was my stylist. We connected immediately. She's very down to earth and easy to talk to. She knew exactly what I was talking about in my wild description about what I wanted my hair to look like. I have short hair and it has a mind of its own sometimes. Nicole's cut and color was the perfect aaaaahhhhhhh when I saw the finished product. Cannot wait to go back! read more
