I feel really lucky to have found Doris. My husband found her about 6 months ago through a Groupon and she gave him the best hair cut of his life. He has longer, thicker hair and she cut layers into it and gave his hair a lot of body and shine. He took her in a photo of Jake Gyllenhaal from the Prince of Persia and she duplicated it perfectly. I have short hair and I wanted to dye it jet black. She is a great colorists and her hair cut was flawless. If you show her a photo she will make it happen. I have seen Doris twice now and I have never been happier with my hair. Doris really listens to what you want and is open to new ideas. I had a new idea of what I wanted this second time and she saw the photo and duplicated it. I have never met someone who could really duplicate photos like she can. Her skill level is top notch. She isn't afraid to try new things, which is great for someone like me who always wants to try new things with my hair. Doris has a very warm personality and is fun to talk to. Her prices are very reasonable too. The salon is very nice too. Lots of open space and natural light and very clean. Street parking has not been a problem for me. I definitely recommend Doris. She can handle any hair cut and color. read more

Hair By Doris - I love my hair cut! - Hair Extensions Near Me - Studio city , California

I've been going to Doris for several years now. She always does such a fantastic job on my hair. She pays so much attention to detail, and if you bring in a photo, she will style/cut/color it exactly! Super friendly, very easy to talk to and one of the sweetest people I know. She also does amazing men's hair cuts! My husband has been a long-time Supercuts (or have mom-do-it) type of guy. He said that since he's gone to Doris, now he won't go anywhere else. The last time he went to her, she cut it EXACTLY the same as the time before, so he didn't have to attempt to explain how he wanted it - she just knew! Thank you Doris!! :) read more

Doris is the best cosmetologist in the world. She is so nice and skilled. and my whole family loves coming to her. Highly recommended.

Doris is a really nice lady and I really enjoyed my time talking to her, however I told her that my normal stylist leaves my color in for 30 mins and puts me under the heat. She had already had my color in for a while with no timer and insisted that I needed an hour under the dryer. I trusted her so I said ok, big mistake! My scalp got burned from the heat and was all red with scabs the next day. Now I have a big bald spot on my head, and my hair is so weak it's falling out in clumps. I paid $315 for this plus a $40 cash tip. read more

Hair By Doris - My burnt scalp. - Hair Extensions Near Me - Studio city , California

I received a haircut from Doris as a much needed birthday present as my hair had reached all the way down to my butt. She went over the styles that I considered and I pretty much just trusted her with how it would come out. She took the time to cut the layers and made sure it was nice and even. My haircut was the perfect length and style. After the blowdry and style, my hair was perfect! The only thing missing is somewhere to go to for a hot date! Doris even gave me some pointers on some easy on the go styles for this very busy mom! I give Doris a five star! read more

Thank you, Yelp, for letting me find Doris! Yes, I am scared of hairstylists. I have trust issues with them. They always mess up my hair BIG time. :( Even if i show pictures, describe what i want in detail... Nothing. One time they made my hair really short to the point where they shaved the back of my neck. I cried afterwards. I only want those cute short bob haircuts -_- Anyway, because of this fear, it had been years since i went to a hair salon. When i wanted to style my hair, I do it myself! My inexperienced self. Lol. I know its a wrong wrong move, but atleast I get to style my hair whatever i want! But I want my hair to be pretty again. I want someone who can handle it with care. Because of that, i desperately searched through yelp for a good hairstylist. I came across "Hair by Doris" and read all the reviews. "Not bad", i thought to myself. So i dialed the number and spoke to Doris for an appointment. I am soo glad she scheduled me on the same day!! So i finally met her! Very nice lady! I felt like i just made an instant friend! :) I love that she took time to look at the pic and ask me questions. It took atleast 2 hours to finish everything.. From cut, highlights, conditioning treatment, blow dry. She's also detail-oriented. She takes a look at the photo every now and then. She even asked me how i want my highlights to be done. Loooooove the result of my mini make-over! It was exactly what i wanted!! Overall, 5 stars! I finally have a go-to hairstylist! I am so happy! Thankkkk youuuu Doris! read more

Doris is the best! Very nice lady that cut my hair very good. For a long time l didn't have a place to go to. After l meet Doris I did not got my haircut in a different place. Highly recommended read more

I found Doris on Groupon in November 2011 and needed a different hair cut and thought I would give her a try. I loved what she did on my hair. I will definitely go back....I actually need to make an appt very soon!!! read more

Thank you Doris! I now have a long, overdue, Rockin' new doo! Finally, I have found someone who observes the photos you bring her and truly LISTENS! She tries her darnedest to give you what you want. Alongside her 30 years of expertise, she knows all the trends. She knows her shiznit! She is an absolute bombshell and she is so sweet ta' boot! Her prices are very reasonable and negotiable. She obviously wants to stay busy and keep her clients happy. My girlfriend has been cutting and coloring my hair for 20 years... Since I've moved, I haven't found anyone to take her place until now! Doris is so easy to talk to. You feel like you've visiting a girlfriend. Personally, I don't need an upscale experience when I get my hair done. "No, I'm not going to some Hollywood Club after this...blah, blah, blah" (I've gotten fab hairstyles out of my ex-girl's basement with my head sunk in her kitchen sink). I don't want to (and can't afford to!) pay $75++ for a cut (no blow dry?) simply because, the 'Hairdresser" is an 'ARTIST' that has an 'Assistant' that holds the Bleach Bowl and offers me champagne and herbal tea. I just want an affordable, good hair dresser/stylist (whatever) who takes pride and humility in their work. Someone who has the chops (no pun intended) to execute or speak up if its not obtainable. Doris completely transformed me, gave me exactly what I wanted, reassured me and answered all of my questions when I thought things were starting to go Left. Also, it's quite OK that the salon she rents her station from (forgot the name of it), isn't surrounded with high end furniture and a polished receptionist or a well dressed shampoo girl. The walls of this Sherman Oaks Salon are an ugly Hospital Blue color and the Stations are a bit 80's looking. Yet, everything is clean and in excellent condition. I would dock a star if I were reviewing the Salon because, parking is a small pain, but this isn't a salon review. *****5 stars for the lovely Doris! I've definitely found my Go-To Gal for Hair! I look forward to my next appointment for Highlights & Color! read more

We finally found our hairdresser!! Doris was a pleasure to work with! Very responsive and was able to accomodate our same day appointment. My daughter and I had our first color experience and Doris made it easy. My daughter loved her! I get a lot of compliments with my lowlights and haircut! We are her customers for life!! read more

I've been going to her for past 3 years for hair cut and color. SHE IS THE BEST!!! She is very very nice and price is inexpensive. She also has done my eyebrow permanent make up. They look very natural and people usually don't notice that they are tattoo. read more

Doris is so sweet! She rents a station at XS Salon and Spa in Sherman Oaks. I found her through groupon and I have been going to her since! I love her because you get what you ask for. She was right on the dot when I showed her a picture of a style I wanted. She also was spot on when coloring my hair. I'm not used to paying salon prices for hair cuts and color, I used to go to Supercuts, but I don't mind splurging when I know I will get the results I want. The last visit I had I was suprised my color was $65! I don't know if that's standard rate but I was shocked at the price. I need to ask for prices next time I go just to make sure I have the funds for it or hopefully Doris is so kind she can work something out with me. read more

I stumbled upon Doris via Groupon. It had been 7 months since my last haircut, and my hair was in need of a haircut. Ever since I moved to LA two years I had been looking for a stylist that I could trust and come back to. And I think I've finally found her! Doris is amazing. She sat me down and discussed with me what I wanted out of my haircut. She talked to me, but not in a fake or forced way. When she cut my bangs she was sure to cut at a "safe" length and asked if I wanted to cut them shorter. When she was done I was absolutely in love with my new haircut. (My previous hair cut sucked, as my person who previously cut my hair left a HUGE gap in one of the "layers" she cut.) You can tell Doris just loves her job and genuinely cares about her clients and this love is a clear reflection of her work. Her prices are reasonable, especially for LA. There is parking in the back of the salon. read more

Doris did wonders with my mom's hair. Before, my mom's hair was shaggy and tousled and after Doris worked her magic, my mom's hair has NEVER looked so good! Doris is such a sweet and beautiful lady. She's fast, great styling and fair prices! My mom will most definitely return to Doris. My family highly recommends Doris for all all your styling needs! read more

I've been getting my hair done by DORIS for many years I've never been disappointed with her work she is very professional and cares how her clients look she takes great pride in her work read more

Found Doris on Groupon...saw her reviews and thought I'm gonna give her a try. Doris has a nice clean work station. She's friendly. And she listened to what I wanted done to my hair and did it! She even gave me advice in regards to what kind of hair products I should use for my type of hair. read more

Doris is a very nice hair stylist. I went with her last week because i found great reviews in yelp and I really love her work. She did exactly what i was looking for. She speaks English and also very good Spanish. She is very patient and she explain every thing about your hair cut and color and she is willing to answer any question you have regarding your hair I recomend Doris to any one who is looking for a great hair cut and color. read more

I love going to Doris to get my hair done. She is very affordable and does a really good job. I've always struggled looking for someone who knows how to work with multicultural hair and she knows what she is doing. She also has done my eyebrows and she leaves me with a very natural shape. read more

Doris is amazing for hair and eyebrow shaping! After a year of simply pulling my hair back, I decided to get it cut and give it some shape. Doris looked through a number of hairstyle books with me to get a clear understanding of what I would like. Then she gave me a great haircut that meets my needs. She also took a look at my eyebrows and decided to give them a rescue. She is AMAZING with eyebrows. I walked out feeling great about my new look. Doris is super sweet and is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend her services. read more

Love her! Love her! Love her! She does magic with my hair. Everyone likes my new short hair look after 15 years with long hair. I'm glad I went to Doris to style my hair. Thank you so much! read more

Doris is amazing. Although I had to wait a bit to make an appointment it was definitely worth the wait. She was excellent in every way. I felt completely pampered afterwards. I will definitely see her again soon! read more

I purchased a deal from Groupon, and must have called her 25 times, including leaving 2 voicemails, and even sent her a text message. She never answered or responded so I could make an appointment. Eventually I just drove to the salon and found her there, trying to get a hair appointment. She was very rude and told me she doesn't have to answer her phone if she doesn't feel like it, or take new clients if she doesn't want to. I explained I purchased a Groupon, and she essentially refused to honor it. I had to call groupon to get my money refunded. Not sure what on Earth happened, she seemed to have good reviews, but I was shocked at how unprofessional my experience was. There are too many good hairstylists to deal with someone who blows you off, and is completely rude and unprofessional! I never write bad reviews but I didn't want someone else to purchase a (suspiciously cheap) deal and get blown off! read more

Moved here almost two years ago and have not had a decent hair cut until I met Doris. She did an Amazing job on my Hair. She took her time and gave me great tips on how to take care of my hair. It was like going to a Doctor, she did an assessment, diagnosed and fixed the problem. I will be going back to her for sure. read more

I have really long hair so Doris trimmed it and added layers while keeping the length. After she styled it, I felt like I was a commercial hair model. A great experience. read more

Doris is absolutely awesome! I came to see her on a fluke when I bought her Groupon. I did the research and saw other reviews she had on Yelp were pretty much all great and they were right. She took her time figuring out exactly why I had left my previous hair dresser, figuring out the style that would look best on me, and then getting my hair to lay completely straight with her amazing flat iron, which I later purchased on amazon. She is definitely a gem! My hair looked healthy and fabulous, exactly what I needed :) read more

This is my first Yelp review because Doris is that amazing, I NEED to let people know! I went in for highlights and a cut and while I was really happy with the results, I had no idea the amout of complements I would recieve over the next two weeks. The color of the highlights and layer length I left up to Doris and those are things people constantly tell me they love. If you want an AMAZING color or cut, do yourself a favor - Run to Doris! read more

Doris is like my fairy godmother with better taste. I needed to have my hair colored and cut. She told me to bring photos of the hairstyles I want. She copied it perfectly! She also gave me price ranges and their respective amount of color that goes into the hair. She also did my eyebrows and I loved it!! read more

So it has been a week since I had my hair cut by Doris. I wanted to wait a bit until I settled into it before I wrote my review because it looked incredible after she cut and styled it for me. Anyways...I still love it! I have never had my hair this short but I decided to do it just this once so the ends can be thicker and grow out thicker. I hated my previous cut and I love how Doris cut my bangs. My hair looks full and healthy. She gave me some wonderful tips on how to care for my hair as well. I would definitely go back when its time for touch up again. I didnt expect it to be so pricey though...thats the only issue but maybe going once every 3-4 months is doable. read more

Doris is very professional and personable. I'm so glad I found her because she is really the best stylist who knows how to cut and treat Asian hair. She listens to customers patiently and asks the right questions. I have to say that every time I move, the most terrifying thing is actually going to a salon... Glad I read the reviews on yelp and went in for a haircut. A note on the side, the 25% off deal is not running any more, but her price is very reasonable for the result and the amount of work she puts in. read more

Doris is great. she did an amazing job. she is very professional and a good listener. Very happy with my new haircut. I highly recommend her. read more

I found Doris through Yelp and based on the reviews I decided to give it a shot. I'm really happy I did! Doris is incredible and gave me what according to my wife is the best hair cut I've ever had... can't beat that. On top of that she's extremely nice and fun to talk to. I will be coming back to her for sure read more

Doris is AWESOME!!! I went today for the first time. I was sooo pleased. She really listens to what you want and does an excellent job! I had been going to the same stylist since I was a child back home until I moved to LA. I had not been able to find someone I really liked here in LA until I went to Doris. She is just fabulous. You will not be disappointed. read more

I cut my own hair a while back and went to her to make it look normal, not only did she do that but she made it look fantastic! afterwards she threw in some detailing on my eyebrows, they look awesome! read more

I love Doris! My mom and I have been doing our hair with her for years now and we have never had a complaint! We're always getting compliments on how our hair looks so healthy and not damaged from all the dye. Keep up the great work!!! read more

This review has been long overdue maybe about 4 months now and I gotta say that doris did an absolute great job. She was very attentive and really easy to talk to about different styles and gives tips on do's. I went out on a limb and bought a groupon to give her a chance and am very happy I did :) aside from everything else that she does. She also does eyebrow waxing and permanent makeup which I'm quite curious about.. So we'll see. read more

Doris is fantastic! Went in to get a layered cut and bangs for the first time since I was a kid and was so impressed with what she could do. I even took in a photo and she made sure I looked exactly like the photo before I left. Doris is incredibly beautiful, talented, personable, and will do whatever it takes to make sure her customers are happy. Also, very up to date with the latest style AND affordable! Sending my boyfriend to her next and would definitely love to hire her for my future projects with photoshoots and film. read more

Doris is amazing! She is such a sweet lady. I found her on Groupon and was a little scared but after reading the reviews I figured I'd give her a shot. I gave her a call and she was able to squeeze me into her schedule the next day. I showed her a picture of the haircut that I wanted and I got exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend her =) read more
