Great haircut from Cyndi. Reasonable rates, good vibes and fantastic talent here. I would highly recommend this salon.

Amazing Experience! Went in with my daughters for my youngest Quinceanera party hair and makeup. The ladies got to work right away and were amazing. Make up was beautiful and Hollywood waves styling was a work of art. The team was able to get a difficult hair styling just right on three very different hair lengths and hair types. Plenty of metered parking in the back. Thank you for making my daughters event a special one. read more

Great place. All the ladies were super friendly and social. I came in because I messed up my hair trying to do an af home dye job. I had a few different ideas of what I wanted it to look like but no clear idea of what exactly I wanted. Luckily Sonia was really patient with me and it came out looking great! And it was decently priced considering it took nearly 5 hours to do the full color, cut and styling. I'll definitely will be coming back again! read more

Just got the hairs cut. It's been 3 mths since my last cut. I was toying w the idea of just trimming my bangs(we know how that sometimes turns out) Cindy did a excellent job curbing my enthusiasm to take matters into my own hands-thank you so much for the great cut~ read more

Thank you Raquel Miranda! I got so many compliments on my haircut. I feel beautiful. You did a great job and were so nice!

PROS : fun, friendly and knowledgeable staff cute (retro/rockabilly) decor musical selections were on point (yes, this is important!) smallish space, but stations are clean/well kept prices are reasonable CONS : metered parking from 8a-6p (on street and lot in back) neighborhood gets a wee bit shady at night (just my opinion!) OVERALL : After a year+ of letting my hair grow AND going about 5 years without dyeing/highlighting (due to a bad reaction to a dye), my waist length hair was looong overdue for a trim! I wanted to find a salon closer to home and found the Hidden Hairpin. Based on the great reviews and a gut feeling, I scheduled an appointment. My first appointment was in February with Sonia. She was super sweet, answered all my questions, addressed my concerns, and most importantly, took her time. When she was done I had 8" cut off and half-moon bangs/fringe - love! It was exactly what I wanted and well worth the 40$ (plus tip). My most recent appointment was yesterday. I needed to get my bangs/fringe professionally trimmed (I'd been doing them myself at home with passable results), and was thinking about doing something "fun" for Spring/Summer. Once again Sonia was super sweet while we discussed how I wanted to change up my hair. 2.5 hours later and my hair looks fabulous! I got blue "peek-a-boo" highlights, added more layers along with a bang trim. Totally worth the 115$ (plus tip) I paid. I highly recommend the ladies at the Hidden Hairpin (especially Sonia!) if you're looking for a new hair salon in SP. read more

It's official. The worst haircut I've ever gotten. It's uneven, choppy and blunt all at the same time. I keep finding random pieces of length every day. Still too short to have it fixed. Still too short for my liking. Am still getting teased and called a soccer mom. Won't go here again. Won't even recommend it. read more

First time at The Hidden Hair Pin this evening, and I was really not sure what to expect but figured I would be optimistic and have this cute little girl Vanessa dive in and try and make me beautiful !!! Well, I was more than happy with my new trim and style. She listened to my request not to get too Edward Scissor Hands on me, and the end result was exactly what I had wanted. Thank you Vanessa.! I will be back. Cyndi, the other hair stylist was also very nice -and friendly -means everything when you are in a new place that you have never been before. I would recommend anyone to check these little chicks out! They seem to know their stuff!!! The only complaint is...you did the hair great Vanessa, but you failed to make me beautiful !! But that's not your fault ! LOL... Hair Stylist's can't do miracles !!! read more

I came to this hair salon this past Saturday after I read all these reviews I decided to give this place a try. I made an appointment with Riki she sounded like she knew it what my hair needs, also I showed different pictures and expressed that I wanted my hair BLONDE!!. I went for high lights and I left with 3 different colors on my hair as you can see in the pictures. She don't even dried my hair! I spent!$195 for this mess! Please don't go to this salon..save your money and save your hair. read more

I had an appointment scheduled today and Raquel called me to cancel the appointment because she was leaving the salon. She canceled my pre-set appointment because she did not feel like finishing her shift or doing her job. So unprofessional and rude. Don't get your hair or nails done here. read more

Having experienced many a bad haircut in my life, I'll admit I was very frightened for my hair's well being. For a month I have seen the welcoming sign out on the street, and I finally decided to go inside. What I found when I entered was a chic hair salon, decorated in a cross between rockabilly and vogue. Everything was girly to the extreme and shouted "I am woman hear me roar." I was happily greeted by a woman I would normally have felt intimidated by, but don't judge a book by it's cover. The beautiful women inside may have full arm tattoos but they do amazing things with scissors. An hour later I left with freshly shampooed hair, a beautiful new haircut, fresh bangs and perfectly styled hair. All this for a very reasonable price. I can't wait till I need a touch up, these ladies I are going to bring chic style back to San Pedro ;) read more

Had my bridal hair and makeup done for my wedding, and brought my entire bridal party for hair, and a photographer and videographer. They did a wonderful job, I could not have been happier about the way everything turned out! I think their prices are very reasonable compared to other salons too! Thanks Cyndi (hair) and Sonia (makeup)!!! Also, they play great music, and its a very fun and relaxed atmosphere. read more

I work for Rainbow Services and we provide supportive services to victims of domestic violence. We were recently contacted by Mary Kay out of Texas and informed that they wanted to do a holiday lunch for some of our clients and that 3 of the women would get make-overs so we needed to find a hair salon to help with the make-overs. Cyndi and the rest of the women at Hidden Hairpin could not have been more helpful and supportive during the entire process. They were gracious with the three lucky women who received the make-overs and they did an AMAZING job for the women. They all looked so beautiful. I can't say enough good things about Hidden Hairpin! Thank you so much to Cyndi and everyone at the salon for everything you did to make the day special for some incredibly deserving women. read more

Cyndi is the best! She took my hair that had been dyed black for years and gave me beautiful burgundy hair! It lasts a long time and I love the color. She is so great with color! Go see her, you will not regret it. Fair prices too! read more

I have been looking for this kind of experience for so long. The staff are charming and make sure you are comfortable every step of the way. I never feel rushed and I always feel attended to as well. They listen and take time to do a great job. This a great value for the level of technical skill and professionalism. I imagine going to this salon is like the experience my grandmothers enjoyed in a different era. Anyway, it's a recommend. :) read more

My regular hair guy waaaay too expensive to visit religiously so I decided to look in my neighborhood for in between spots. I went in for a bang trim and gave strict instructions to follow the previous style. She did a wonderful job! The trim was very similar and she took her time, didn't rush, and even acknowledged the difficulty and fine art of getting bangs "JUST RIGHT." Maybe when I'm feeling a bit bolder I will go in for a full cut and style. read more

Finally came in to see Sonia. She did an incredible job. My hair feels so much healthier and it's a lot easier to style. This place lives up to it's name, it's hidden in one of the many brick buildings off 7th street. It's such a cute place, clean and they play some great music. Thanks again Sonia, I'll be back soon for some color! read more

I moved to the area and after having to take care of my own hair for awhile (YUCK!) I decided I need to find a local salon. I read through countless reviews and found this salon. I called the same day I read the reviews and was able to get an appointment the same day! I had just come from the beach and was super excited to get something done to my hair. I had my first appointment with Sonia and all I can say is what a very sweet knowledgeable lady! I have now been here three times and get the same great service each time and she is very reasonably priced. I love the banter in the shop and how great everyone seems to get along. Also, they play fantastic music in the background. I have also had my son and my daughter's hair cut here! Yes, the only issue is the parking during the day - it kind of bites. read more

CYNDI is AMAZING! Wow does she know how to dye hair. I've gone twice and I trust her with hair so much. I just leave it her and she's great. I told her that she's like the human radio. Every song that comes on, she knows every single lyric to it. All the stylists there are so HILARIOUS, I kid you not. They make you feel awesome. They joke around all the time. It's nice to see that. read more

She took her time, listened to my needs, and performed the task effortlessly with the utmost attention to detail. She told me what she was doing each step of the way to make me feel comfortable and to educate me further on what products & practices are good for my hair. The salon itself is adorable, quaint, and relaxing. Street Parking is FREE after 6pm if you are coming for an evening appointment, and salon prices are also very good!

I just want to give a huge thank you to Rikki I was in a desperate need to a color fix I went to Sally's and bought some hair color to dye my roots and it turned my hair yellow! My wife surprised me with a trip to Vegas to see Celine Dion and we were leaving the next day I could not go with Peppermint Patty hair I was freaking out! I called Hidden Hairpin at 10:30am and a very nice woman named Rikki said she was the only one there and was booked but if I could get there in the next 15 min she would take a look and see if she could help me out. So I rush over there and she throws a toner on my hair mixes two different formulas and explains that she can't just throw a toner all over like someone else said they would do. Rikki was very accommodating, kind, and definitely knows her stuff I would highly recommend her!!! I am very pleased and so thankful for her squeezing me in :) read more

I was looking for a new salon closer to home, and based on fellow yelpers' reviews I decided to try out Hidden Hairpin. I needed a serious touch-up on my highlights and was able to get an appointment on very short notice with Vanessa. I explained what I liked and didn't like about my current hair color situation, and she totally understood what I was looking for. The color turned out beyond my expectations, and continues to look great a full 4 weeks after getting it done. Everyone working there is very friendly, and the pricing is right on point. Highly recommended! Note: If you have an appointment before 6pm, bring quarters for the parking meters. read more

So my hair was getting crazy. Like jungle woman crazy. I decided it was finally time to tame my mane and called the girls up and set an appointment. I had an amazing experience and absolutely love my my new hairstyle! I had no idea what I wanted but Vanessa was patient and made me feel like the prettiest girl at the ball. Obviously I'm going to keep going back and will recommend this place to everyone I know. The salon itself is just the most adorable place ever! Super clean and well lit with lots of spunk. It's fantastic. read more

I am very emotionally attached to my hair and only let one person cut it before coming to this salon. I was worried that my hair wouldn't come out the way I wanted, or it would look bad. Thanks to my hairdresser Vanessa, this was not the case at all! Walking into the salon, you're immediately attracted to the artwork on the walls and how cute the setup is. The music matches the employees' clothes and hairstyles, so you know they love their job and know what they're doing. Everyone in the shop is very friendly and they make you feel at home. A modest little shop like this deserves five stars and a HIGH five! :D read more

I can't say enough about this wonderful salon! thank you!!! read more

Worst haircut[s] I ever got! My hair was very long and quite frizzy. I had been pulling it into a ponytail, but I wanted it cut shoulder length and feathered back. I checked Yelp for reviews for salons in San Pedro, since I hadn't been to one in several years. This place had high ratings so I called and asked if they cut men's hair. Cindy said they did so made an appointment. I even brought a picture of myself when my hair was shorter and told Cindy that is how I wanted my hair to look. She started by telling me that she didn't think I should go that short and persuaded me that if I didn't like it at that length she would gladly recut it. I reluctantly agreed. Needless to say I had to call back. She was NOT GLAD to hear from me. All of the enthusiasm of my first call was gone, but she made an appointment for me several days later. When I got there she was not very friendly at all. I considered just blowing it off and going somewhere else. But I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She asked me what I didn't like about the haircut as if she HADN'T offer to GLADLY recut it. I told her that is was still too long, it wasn't feathered back and that she cut it almost the same length all around my head. I looked like a Dutch Boy. The 2nd haircut was just a shorter version of the first. Bottom line: She didn't give a s**t! I guess the ladies like this place, or perhaps Hidden Hairpin hired someone to give them good reviews. Regardless, if you're a guy, you probably don't want to go here. read more
