This review is long overdue. My son, who never used to care about his hair, turned thirteen and suddenly...he REALLY cared. We had tried everything -- high-end salons, driving all the way to the OC for a trusted family stylist, and everything in between. Nothing quite stuck. Then I searched "men's scissor haircut" on Yelp and found Lisa. Lisa cut my son's hair, and we never looked back. It genuinely changed his self-esteem. She was an artist -- no clipper cuts, just careful, thoughtful scissor work. She connected with him, gave him exactly the look he wanted, and somehow turned that teenage scowl into a smile. It was more than a haircut, it was confidence. Sadly, February was the last cut she would give him. We learned in March that Lisa was ill. We had only briefly met Rochelle before, and while she was lovely, we hadn't really seen her work. Still, we booked with her, hoping -- maybe unrealistically -- that lightning could strike twice. Somehow... it did. Honestly, more like an electrical storm. Rochelle told us she was "just following Lisa's lines," but it's clearly more than that. Especially considering she stepped in after losing her friend and business partner -- that alone is incredible. She gave my son an even cleaner, slightly shorter cut, still using only scissors, and somehow kept all the texture, fringe, and movement that kids his age care so much about right now. She also finishes with a close neck shave and offers a choice of Thayer's witch hazel or a creamy toner -- it's a full experience. The location is super convenient (right near the middle school), appointments are easy, parking is simple, and everything is clean and efficient. And for anyone wondering -- a 14-year-old boy's approval is not easy to earn. This age group knows their hair. They care. They have opinions. And as they'd say, Rochelle gives a "fire" cut -- at a price moms will appreciate. You'd easily pay three times as much elsewhere in L.A. for less. Highly recommend. P.S. Rest in peace, Lisa. You were deeply loved, and you made a lasting impact on my son. You were truly the best. read more

I just recently found out about Lisa's passing and I am so sad to hear this news. Myself and my boyfriend went to her for our haircuts. She did a great job at a decent price. Something that's hard to come by in this town. I'll miss our conversations because we had a lot in common. We've been going to her for almost 6 years. She had a good heart and was always so nice to us. We'll miss you Lisa. Rest in peace. read more

Great place for consistent hair cuts. I always feel that I look my best afterward. Have not had any issues with scheduling. Thank you!

Great Service!! Rochelle and Lisa are the best in the business if you haven't been here to get a hair cut yet you're missing out!! read more

I've been going to only them for years now. Great environment and service. Reasonable prices as well! I highly recommend them!! ~BW read more

Lisa is an excellent hair dresser. She is friendly. Good location with parking in the back.

My (hair obsessed) son and I both got haircuts with Lisa today- terrific experience! Lisa really listens to her clients and does a beautiful job of exceeding expectations. Lovely salon, easy parking, very reasonable pricing. So grateful- we will definitely be back! read more

Okay, so I've never been one to get my haircut at an independent salon because everytime it's been a so so experience. I usually just settle for supercuts and do whatever. Lisa changed my mind completely! She styled my hair just the way I wanted and even modified it to look even better. I was so impressed I took my three nieces to get their hair done as well and they loved it! I'm so happy I found someone I trust and will be a returning client. Thank you so much Lisa! I'm looking forward to trying new styles with you! read more

My 8-yr-old had a great haircut from Rochelle! Easy to make online appointments and she watched Disney+ on their TV the whole time.

So my son decided he was coming easy to chop off his hair, so we looked to Yelp for recommendations and this hair salon is AMAZING!!! Rochelle took great care of my son, they talked the whole time, she kept asking HIM what he wanted the whole time!!! He came out super happy and stated that he wants to keep that look for life!!! Lol We will be coming back for sure, next time it will be my turn!!!! read more

Appointment booking was prompt, and the shop is really clean. Rochelle took my unruly hair to task. I was very satisfied with the friendly service and knowledgeable stylist's cut. Earned a new repeat customer. read more

Rochelle is wonderful! She was skilled, kind, and created a great experience for my Mom. Nervous about trying a new stylist and concerned about navigating in and out via wheelchair, Mom arrived a bit keyed up. She left with a big smile, feeling great and looked beautiful. Thank you Rochelle and Hair Razing. read more

Rochelle does an amazing job with men's hair. She understands exactly what you're asking for and delivers excellent haircuts every time. Online booking is great but you can also text or call to make an appointment. I've been here 3 times in the past year and she has done an awesome job every time. read more

Doesnt get better than this shop. Lisa has continually left me impressed after each cut over the last few years, and has recently given me the best haircut of my life. i think I just peaked. If you are looking to reinvent your style or even maintain what you got goin on, look no further. Seriously, these people know what they are doing. Being kind and respectful isn't even necessary given the quality of their work but they are those things, too. Excellent shop. read more

I've been looking for a new hairstylist for several months since I left the area where my previous stylist had her salon. I read the reviews here on Yelp as well as the information on the Hair Razing website. I got a really good vibe and thought I'd give it a try, especially since they are right around the corner from me. Made an appointment with Lisa through their online scheduler which was super easy and reminded me about the appointment as well! REALLY COOL place and Lisa couldn't be nicer! Instead of a "cookie cutter" cut with clippers she took the time to listen to what I was looking for in a style (I'm a guy who is pretty picky about his hair) and went to work with the razor and various scissors to create not only a really cool look but one that I could easily style different ways as Lisa showed me! Way cool! Top it all off with a hot lather shave on the back of the neck and a quick neck/shoulder massage with a cool massage gizmo and I am SOLD! Lisa, you just got another long term client. The art of customer service and excellent hair cuts is alive and well at Hair Razing! Thanks! read more

I followed Lisa here from Floyd's where I was always a walk-in and was lucky enough to have her cut my hair a couple of times. Once she opened her own place I was delighted! She takes the time to make sure I look great when I leave (or at at least my hair does - the rest of me isn't her fault). She's so friendly too - the amount of time I've spent in chairs getting my hair cut and never exchanging a word with the stylist must add up to years, but I don't think I've drawn breath when she's cutting my hair. She must wonder if I'm ever going to shut up. read more

LADIES!!! Don't let the "barber" description scare you away! Let me qualify: I am a pixie-cut gal and have been styled by the best (yes, my previous stylist works on clients for red carpets and covers of many magazines!). Due to my previous stylist's travel schedule, I'm unable to see her consistently enough to keep my short hair in shape. I decided that a barber might be a good solution for me...my research on Yelp and five star reviews brought me to Hair Razing. After all, I figured "it'll grow if it ends up being a disaster"! Disaster it was not. In fact, I'm two cuts into a relationship with my new stylist, Lisa. She is so good at what she does and let me tell you, I have issues! She knows how to handle all of my hair's quirks and is not only talented with the scissors and razor, she's so sweet to boot! No, I don't get a wash before the cut (I haven't asked though...maybe she would), but I do get exactly the cut I'm looking for, plus lots of compliments when I'm out and about. Summing up the experience: - Lisa gives me the PERFECT cut - I book my appointment online...LOVE IT! - Parking is FREE in the rear lot...and you can walk right in the back door - $25...WHAT???? If she can cut a pixie perfectly, I'm sure she can do ANYTHING. Ladies...take a chance and I bet you'll be a happy customer too! read more

I found this hair salon by searching on Yelp. It is conveniently located off the 170, 101, or 134 freeways in the San Fernando Valley. I found the price for men's basic cut reasonably priced. Lisa and Rochelle have cut my hair and I was satisfied with both of them. I believe they added another member to the team recently. I love how Lisa gives you recommendations on how to style your hair and how she uses scissors. She really stays focused on your cut and makes adjustments as needed. She makes sure you're happy with the cut. Easy online booking. Easy parking located behind the shop or on the street. read more

First time here. Very happy with outcome. Lisa not only cut my hair, but learned about different styles that I can apply and how to do it at home. Keeping my review short and simple. Bottom line, I'm hoping the party keeps going and this becomes my new go to long term place. Will be back. read more

I wanted to wait a little bit before I wrote a review. I have gone to three appointments now, all with Lisa. Before I get into it, let's just say that its definitely a 5/5 location and I have NO complaints. Appointment #1: Okay, so I have never really been one to really care about what my hair style was, mostly because I spent almost 10 years in the service and didn't really get to have a hairstyle. Now that I'm out of the service I didn't have the first idea of what kind of style I wanted. My first day I went in, I asked for a crew cut high and tight. Lisa kind of just looked at me and was like ...ummm...can I do this instead? (and showed me pictures of celebrities with similar hairstyle) Now, she didn't demand it, I'm sure she would have done what I requested, but again, I didn't know any better. So she cut my hair and at the end, I'm not going to lie, I hated it. I did not like it at all. I told her I wasn't used to having hair, blah blah blah. She said "trust me, just let it grow out a little, and tell me what you think. It'll grow on you" Appointment #2: I come back to Lisa and like she said, it started to grow on me a little. Still wasn't in love with it, but it wasn't as bad of a shock as it was three weeks prior. She trimmed and did her thing, and then she took the time to really show me how to use the product (as I never really had the need before.) Appointment #3 (yesterday): Okay, I love my hairstyle. Still don't really know what to do with it but it's a working progress. I have gotten compliments on it and I didn't realize that my hair, out of all things, my hair would be a confidence booster. Anyway, not only did my hair grow on me (pun intended) but Lisa and I started talking more and more. She was telling me about her weekend and asking me about mine, it was very relaxing....NOT TO MENTION THE MASSAGE HAND GLOVE THING at the end. Definitely will be going back to Hair Razing and will only be seen by Lisa. I'm sure the other girls do equally good work, but I'm not changing, haha. read more

rochelle cut my hair great job and kind conversation,shop is very laid back clean and relaxing,i will come back to see rochelle again for sure,deniel edwards guitar/ 8-11-23 read more

I don't often write reviews, but this salon warrants recognition. I first came in as I needed a haircut after 5pm on a Saturday and every other place closed up at 4 or earlier. Lisa cut my hair that first time and two times since. Best haircuts I've ever received. Keen attention to detail and knows exactly what you're trying to achieve. Haircut is also priced at East Coast rates. Most inexpensive haircut I've received in L.A. and the best. As long as I'm in L.A., and she's cutting hair, I'm coming in. read more

Ignored me for 5 minutes then I walked out. I waited to be acknowledged or spoken to. Nothing. They weren't super busy. Very disappointing because they're close and convenient. The inside is bright, well lit, and very clean. read more

On behalf of my boyfriend: I went to Hair Razing after reading all the positive reviews, and took a chance. Krystle, did my haircut. Before I tell you what an amazing job she did, I should let you know that I'm very picky when it come to getting my haircut. I have spent in the past upwards of $300.00 for a haircut and the haircut that i got from Krystle was even better. She really understands that a haircut should be sculpted after the shape of your head. She is an expert in razor cuts and fades. I highly recommend Krystle, she is now my permanent stylist :) read more

Rochelle's the best ...she knows what style works for each person I always get my hair cut from her now ,definitely worth the trip thanks again for the great job read more

This review is based on service and not cut - Lost my stylist. She moved salons and hasn't updated her FB so I have no idea where she went. After days of reading reviews and deciding on where to go, I found Hair Razing. I was only a few blocks away when I decided on going, so I called. Nobody answered the phone (bad sign number one) - but they did say I could book an appointment online. Since I was driving, I didn't want to break the law, and just went there. They had a sandwich board outside that said "walk-ins welcome" so I figured, lets give it a try. Two stylists inside, both doing men's cuts, and both doing a fairly decent job. (I should say my sister is a stylist, and an educator, and I used to work for Sebastian Hair Products, so I know what good and bad hair looks like.) Neither client looked exceptional, but I don't think either wanted something special anyways. It was a typical short men's cut, so, at least it looked clean and nice. When I came in, one guy was already sitting down, and another guy entered from the back door at about the same time I entered. I sat in what must have been a waiting area. There was no reception desk. And while both stylists looked at me, neither gave me any acknowledgement of my arrival. I sat patiently, figured, at least they are giving their clients their full attention, and took in the atmosphere. The place was decorated a little cheaply, but it had the personality I like. Lots of B-Horror movie posters, plus Shaun of the Dead, Nightmare Before Christmas, and they were watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the flatscreen. Ok, this could be my new salon... Then,after about 15 minutes, and watching both stylists ring up their clients using square on their phones (hip, modern, use technology, all good signs) - they call their next clients. Then one just gives me a look, and says "and you are?" me "Just a walk in" - her "sorry, I am all booked for the entire day." other Stylist "Me too, maybe tomorrow?" Me - "Its a bad sign of a business when you don't acknowledge someone for 15 minutes and then can't help them, I won't be coming back." Also - If you don't have anymore walk-in space available - Bring in the Walk-ins Welcomed sign. Finally - for a laugh, I logged on the website. Sure enough, I could have booked for one of them for 6:30pm. It was 4:30 at the time. If she had told me that, I would have taken it, gone and grabbed a bite, and come back. When I realized that I could have just booked for 6:30 online, and she didn't offer it to me, it bothered me even more. Then I got my hair destroyed by a second salon. Finally went to a third place that fixed it. But anyways, the work they were doing looked nice, but I won't ever know - CUZ THAT SERVICE SUCKED. read more

I've travelled near and far looking for that haircut that's *just* right. Usually, I find someone at a retail hair place that does a good job. You know the one, it's spot on about 8 out of 10 times. And sometimes I leave just frustrated. Or the next day I find a lock of long hair over an ear that got overlooked. Well I'm done looking; Hair Razing is now my go-to place. Rochelle has given me such good haircuts! Each time I leave I feel like I've just gotten the best haircut of my life! On top of that, she's super friendly (and hilarious) and makes it such a relaxing experience. I like the online appointment option a lot, but really it's the quality of the cut and the great experience that gets the 5 stars. read more

Ada has been cutting my hair for over three years and now I can't imagine having anyone else do it. I have curly, almost kinky hair and she just gets it. A little over a year ago I decided to stop dying my hair and she helped me transition to my natural beautiful gray. It wasn't easy, but she was so supportive that it helped me keep going and now I love it. read more

Hair Razing - Hair Salons Near Me - Studio City, California

I love my hair, and have pangs of anxiety when it comes to trusting another person with cutting it. Dealing with Lisa has been an absolute dream, though. She listened to what I wanted, gave me a perfect razor cut, and then showed me two other ways to wear my hair with the same cut ("if you put it this way, you have more of Mad Men thing going"). Prices are terrific for the quality of service you get. She's really good company, too. Highly recommended. read more

I followed Rochelle from Flloyds, then to her next place & finally here. Rochelle knows her stuff & I have never been disappointed. She always makes an effort to squeeze me in even if she's booked up. If she can't, she has even come in early a few times or cut her lunch break short to get me in. She will also stay in touch with me if need be. Great price for a great cut! Thanks Rochelle !!! read more

The whole place makes it so easy to make an appointment and has really gone out of their way to be Covid safe. I have only gone to Rochelle so I can't speak for anyone else, but she is fantastic. Very skilled and kind, can't recommend her enough. read more

I have been going to Rochelle for my hair styling needs for over 6 years, and could not be any happier with the quality of her work. In addition to being the consummate pro, she has always been courteous, efficient, and accommodating. She is a pleasure to be around and her service typically comes with a smile too. She's the best hairstyist I've ever had the pleasure to be with in my many years. If you are looking for a new stylist, look no more. She's conveniently located in Studio City at Hair Razing. ~Oscar A, Tujunga read more

I booked an appointment with Rochelle after randomly finding this place on Yelp. I was always skeptical of new hair stylists because I have difficult hair and most haircuts on me look bad (not the fault of the stylists usually, but its just my hair). Anyways, Rochelle gave me the exact cut I was hoping for and I remember walking out of there feeling like I got the best haircut that I could have hoped for. This was 2 years ago and Ive been going to her every month since and I really cant see myself swapping stylists because she is so good at what she does. So flash forward to today, and after 2 years of happily getting the same style cut (because she does such an awesome job), I decided to switch it up a little bit. We talked about what to change it to, and after we were done, I was feeling a little uncertain about how it turned out. Not because of how she cut it, but probably because I hadn't changed things up in a few years. Regardless, she told me that it probably doesn't look as bad as I thought it did (in a joking manner of course) and give it a couple days to settle in and style. If I didnt like it after that, then I could just book another appointment and she would make complimentary fixes to it. Well, shame on me for doubting her, because an hour after I get home and take a look Im already in love with it! Its just another testament to her ability to make my difficult hair look great. Rochelle, thanks for being so awesome all the time! read more

You know when you wake up one day, decide you're a barber and destroy your own hair? Well not too long ago that happened to me, and guess who was the only person capable of redeeming me from this dark place? Yup, you guessed it! Lisa! Seriously, if you are looking for a quality cut with someone who actually puts effort into cutting your hair, and somehow knows what hairstyle would look best on you, then you've got to visit Hair - razing read more

Lisa has been cutting my hair now for three years. I am a 46 year old man and have had my hair cut by at least 40 different stylist through the years in many different cities. She is hands down the best I have ever had. I had my haircut by at least 4 stylists at Floyd's (where she used to work) before being lucky enough to sit in Lisa's chair and after that never had my haircut by anyone else. You can tell she loves what she does and is a super great person too! Her place is spotless, very well lit and hip. The hot towels on the neck after a long day are my favorite! I always recommend Hair Razing. Garrett Cunneen Studio City read more

I just got my first haircut (that I didn't do myself) in a year from ISAAC at Hair Razing and it is one of the best haircuts I have had in several years. I let him guide me through what he thought was good for me and he did an incredible job. Thanks Isaac.... read more

Lisa gave me a great cut, and it was so easy to schedule the appointment online! She's a great conversationalist (has a degree in Psychology) and really knows what she loves. The difference I experienced with Lisa compared to any other places I've been is that she cuts hair according to how it's GOING TO grow out. She cuts hair for later, not for right now. This kind of knowledge and communication about what she's doing is rare, and you don't get that, even from a big-box chain place. The little gadget massage thing and the hot towel are nice touches too! Great experience, I'm looking forward to going back! Parking is on the street (metered) or residential around the corner: not bad. I think there's a small lot in the back too, but I didn't need it. read more

Reading all the reviews from prior customers. How weird this place only likes men as customers. All/most of the women left the same review and I had the same experience as well. Walked in and no one acknowledged me even being there except when one of the stylist said "can u close the door" Really!? How about "Hello" and "Welcome" !? Very rude. I turned around and walked out. Screw that. Way too many other places I can go around town, certainly don't need that! No way to take back the 1 star but to be clear I give it 0 stars ;) read more

This salon is great! From the people, to the environment, and even the music in the background. Lisa and her crew are very talented indeed. I can vouch for Isaac personally, he is a great barber, always does an awesome job, and you can tell he cares for his work! If you're a new-comer do not hesitate to book an appointment here. I always leave with my head held high! read more
