I love Shear Emagination and the owner Erika... she has been doing my hair since I was 13yrs old…read morewell before even being established as the owner of Shear Emagination... Erika is the best and her work is out of this world.... she really cares about her clients and makes sure we definitely don't leave the way we arrived... she comes through every time I request a hair style even if she really doesn't have the time to do it... she finds a way to keep her clients happy. She has a way of really taking care of your hair..she specializes in silk press, relaxers, braids, short hair styles, long hair styles, waves (full and partial), hair color and just overall healthy haircare... I've seen people come in looking crazy but before they leave their hair has been completely transformed into such a beautiful sight... giving us a whole lot of confidence when we get out of her chair... I'm very confident in the way she takes care of my hair at Shear Emagination....my children (ages 8 &10) also receives services too... I high recommend her... you won't be disappointed.

From her silk press, short cuts, to weaves and braids. She has the magic touch. She has become like a sister to me, very professional and doesn't keep you in the salon all day. If you need a hair stylist that will grow and maintain your hair she has the hands for it. She will forever be my hairstylist even if I move out of the state.

She is very professional and pays attention to detail. She listens to what you want and is dedicated to giving you exactly what you request . I have had long black hair for over ten years and decided to go short and lighten my hair. It was an exciting but terrifying at the same time.

I don't speak Spanish so they let a younger girl to communicate with me. My request is so simple, just cut them shorter and thinner, I even gave them a picture for reference. I notice they only have male customers, so I ask them MULTIPLE times can they handle women's haircut, they knot knot knot and saying si si si. Ok I gave it a try. OMG?! How do they even get their job?! That woman who cut my hair, she just trimmed it short, no layering, nothing, but just one cut straight?! She might cut down 3-4 inches then told me she finished?! What?! THIS is not a haircut, this is just trim I can do it at home myself within 5 mins. And you charged me $25?! This place is a Big SCAM!!!

I got my braids done with EJ a few weeks ago and continue to get complimented on my style. Before my actual appointment EJ, unflinchingly took the time to consult with me about the hair I should buy while I was at the beauty supply store -which was not scheduled. I had questions and texted her and she called, actually called-- me and helped me out. She was timely (which is sometimes uncharacteristic of stylists) and a great conversationalist (which is characteristic but even more so for her). I also like that pricing was clear on the website and overall reasonable. I recommend!

Listen--COG Hair is the REAL DEAL!!…read more First, let me start by saying that I don't let just anyone do my hair. Like many Black women I know, I've had some traumatic experiences with hair loss as a result of "professionals" braiding my hair too tight and causing damage to my scalp and strands. When I reached out to COG, Ejiro responded quickly, consulted with me about what I was looking for, and addressed each of the concerns I had. This helped me to relax a bit as it was clear that she knew what she was doing! When I agreed to have her do my hair, she told me exactly what hair to buy and even sent the name/address of several beauty supply stores that carry it. When Ejiro and I met in person she was both punctual and professional! I anticipated sitting in the chair 8-9 hours, however she installed small neatly parted, waist-length Senegalese twists in 5 hours--record timing!! She was quick without compromising the quality of the style or health of my hair, which is very important to me. The twists came out beautifully! I am so pleased with the result. They are now 5 weeks old and I still get compliments on them almost daily. Also--there was never a dull moment in our conversations. We hit it off from the very beginning and were laughing like friends who'd known each other our whole lives. Prices are very reasonable as compared to other shops I looked into. Needless to say, I'm thrilled to have found my new stylist in Los Angeles. And the best part? Ejiro can do it all! So when I'm ready to switch up the style, I'm confident there is nothing she can't do! :)

Mimi is a breath of fresh air. She is an amazing stylist, and knows exactly what she's doing. I…read moreoften come to Mimi with pictures and ideas, and she executes the style and color every time. I love that she is extremely professional, and at the same time goofy and sweet. This is important when you're spending from 20 mins (for a hair trim) to up to six hours (from a cut, die, treatment, blending, styling--in one day) together! I've done practically all hair related things with Mimi as mentioned above. I appreciate that Mimi is knowledgeable about all types of hair. I can ask her as many questions as I like (and it's very much so encouraged) to learn how to take care of my hair during all seasons (because it does make a difference)! The products that she uses are all natural which is one of the main things that I love about going to Mimi. On top of aaaaalll of that, Mimi has 100% reasonable prices. She has many quoted prices on her website and frequently promotes specials. You gotta love a stylist that can do exceptional work, is an established author and advocates change through many volunteer organizations during her personal time. If you ask me, she's the best anyone will get. :)

Jewel is a gem! (Pun intended)…read more The one on one attention I got for my color, cut and condition is almost unheard of in most salons these days. It felt more personal and that my hair had her undivided attention. She nailed the color exactly as I wanted and gave me luscious layers while keeping the length in.

Simply wanted to update my review being that i've received a couple of responses from the business…read more This knocks my rating lower. Now I'm sure as she said,she can deliver a great job on the services that she says that she can do. However it bothers me just a bit when I'm told that I'm not giving accurate information to whoever is reading this review. I stated exactly what happened and in no way was it biased or misleading. I asked for very very light ashy blonde color. She said OK and I left with orange hair. My sister asked for the same light blonde color however the owner looked at her hair being that it was black and said she will not be able to achieve that color in one sitting. She never once told me that I was unable to get that color like she did my sister. The only reason why I am updating this review is because 1)The owner responded,though a professional manner, still stated that I (indirectly) was giving inaccurate information when in fact I simply stated exactly what happened. 2) I feel as though she is making excuses rather than owning up to her mistake that she made on my hair. I mean hey it happens no one is perfect.I understand that at the time she was the only one working at her business and has since hired new people however I personally feel it was a little bit unprofessional to book so many people when you know that you're just one person. And just to snowball on top of that, shortage in staff is not a valid reason for the results of my hair. I just feel that if you make a mistake or things didn't go as you had hoped simply own up to it instead of trying to make my review seem illegitimate. I try to make my reviews here on yelp as honest and un picky as possible. If something goes wrong such as a dramatically different color in hair than I had asked for then yes I'm going to bring it up. I'm not asking for anything or trying to offend anybody but I definitely do not hesitate to respond to messages from the owners. As said before the owner had a very professional and well mannered response however the comment she made was not accurate and I wanted to clear it up respectively.
