This salon is SO accommodating. They took me last minute for a keratin treatment, stayed after the salon closed to finish my hair, and my hair looks INCREDIBLE! Best keratin I've had yet. Will definitely be back read more

Im giving 3 stars because the stylist was very nice. Im giving my overall look of my hair a zero. I'm sure this salon is fabulous however, I did not receive the look I intended to receive. I am completely sad right now. It took me almost a year for my hair to fully grow out from the last disastrous haircut I received. I had to cut my hair 4 times to fix it. I was so hesitant to get another haircut except now my hair was very dry and needed it. Once again I have to cut my hair very short to start all over again because the haircut I received tonight is awful. I asked for a trim and layers. Well, that's exactly what I got however, I got a haircut that looks old school mom hairstyle from the late 90's. Kind of like Jennifer Aniston but very odd in the front. Also, another thing that bothered me was the stylist never asked me if I wanted my hair blow dried or not. She blow dried my hair then asked for 35$. If you charge for a blow dry then ask if the customer wants that service! Also, Please, if you ask the client if she wants side bangs and the client says no side bangs then don't give the client side bangs. Gosh, I'm so upset about it. I know it's just hair but, if I'm paying for a specific look I should get it. :( read more

I love this place!!! I swear by Helen, who is the best colorist and stylist I've ever had! I bring pictures of the looks I want and she colors, cuts, and styles my hair perfectly. Not to mention the vibe of the place is so positive! The decor is posh yet organic, and everyone is so pampering. Def recommended! read more

Eliza is the best for extensions! She does good work fast and keeps my hair looking fabulous.

I have gone to Ankh Studio for years. The stylists are the best as well as great people. I went in last February and found out that Linda, the owner, had sold it but she and most of the other stylists were still there. I was happy. Yesterday as I was walking in, I noticed that the other side of HNL Studio (it has doubled in size from when it was Ankh Studio), was open and offering many specials. I walked in and almost fainted when I saw how low the laser hair removal prices were. I spoke to the nurse who does the laser treatment and was impressed. I made an appointment for today. I've never had laser hair removal. I know many people who have and they rave about it. I had bought a Groupon for another studio in Encino. Everything looked so dirty, including the receptionists, that I ended up leaving, and never using that Groupon. I contacted Groupon, they wouldn't credit me...but that is another story. Ashlin, the RN, was a delight. She explained everything before I began. We probably spent close to 30 minutes talking. As she worked on me, she was so careful and did her best to make sure that any discomfort was minimal (I have to say, waxing is more painful). Although HNL was offering both single sessions or a series of sessions, Ashlin never pushed me to spend more money. She said that one treatment works for some people, but many people need more sessions than one. I bought the series of 5 sessions and added a tip. Ashlin was so sweet and thankful, saying the tip wasn't necessary. I'll be back and will be telling my friends to try the shop! I've heard the manicurist is wonderful - and of course the hair side, that still has Linda, Jenny and Nina is wonderful. read more

HNL is amazing! This shop is very classy and trendy with vibrant décor. I always feel relaxed when I'm there. The stylist are really friendly and fun to hang with. Helen is my hair dresser. She is amazing with flattering cuts and eye-captivating hair colors. She has great long-layering technique; I tell her once what I want and she always gives me the exact look. Not only that, but she's also experienced with micro-link extensions. This salon is a one-stop shop for everything. HNL is not just a hair salon. They provide nail, laser hair removal, and facial services as well. You will leave feeling refreshed and pampered. If your looking for great service, HNL is the perfect salon! read more

The best word to describe this salon is AWESOME. Professional hairstylist and excellent customer service. I found this place accidentally on Instagram @hnlstudio and decided to give it a try. Booking the appointment was easy. Elizabeth did a fantastic job with my highlights. She transformed them from yellowish chicken blonde into ash blonde shade. I felt in love with the way my hair looks since she highlighted it. I am getting tons of compliments :) I absolutely would recommend this place to anyone because you won't be disappointed. As a first time client I also got a discount which is YAY! Thank you Elizabeth! read more

If you want healthy SEXY Hair, this is the place. I love my hair stylist Jennie. She always does an amazing job!! She colors my hair, deep conditions & styles my hair to look super SEXY. Every time she does my hair I get a slew of compliments. I have referred friends, family & co-workers & they all agree that she does an amazing job!! I highly recommend you see for yourself. read more

if your looking for a beautiful salon with amazing staff/hairdressers/nail tech/makeup artist! HNL is your spot, I don't normally get my hair done often because I have never found someone who does exactly what I'm looking for, but LIZ is amazing! I'll keep coming to her. The other ladies there were very friendly and offered refreshments and asked if I was comfortable. I also saw the amazing work they did on other ladies. You will be happy to come to this place read more

My first time at the salon and I will definitely be going back!!! All thanks to Lucy! If you have blonde hair or want color correction you should make an appointment asap! She really outdid herself, I went lighter and left with better hair if that's even possible. You will love her company along with her magic touch! read more

I love this place. I was skeptical to find a new hair stylist but after reviewing all the comments I was up for it. I shopped around and called several places and HNL Studios is the one I went with, and couldn't be happier with my decision. Eliza does the best extensions around and Helen is always extremely accommodating with snacks and beverages and customer service. They are both such sweet hearts and I am very happy with my decision to come here. read more

Helen st HNL is exceptional! I've got short-to-medium, thick wavy hair, and she did an awesome job, using clippers and scissors to give me exactly the style I wanted. I will definitely be back. read more

HNL studio is like a Super Nordstrom's, if such a thing existed. They got the best of everything at very competitive prices - which is quite rare for such an upscale and luxurious salon. But what sets this place apart from the others is the staff. Everyone is super friendly, knowledgable, gorgeous, trendy and amazing at what they do! Be it color, cut, blow out, nails, laser, Botox, or any of the other services they provide! I always feel like I'm on a Hollywood movie set when I come here. Bridgett is an amazing and creative nail technician and can do anything you ask. Eliza is an extraordinary hairdresser and has been able to match any color I want. Her blow outs are simply gorgeous! And if all that wasn't enough, they got snacks and coffee as well as champagne during certain times. Really, what more can one ask for?? read more

Eliza is a hair goddess.she saved my hair.she does the best Extention in LA she is very talented and really do care about your hair heath.I'm flying from Vegas to have my hair done by Eliza,my hair always look perfect and beautiful.its was a miracle the day I met her.its so important to feel safe when u have someone taking care about your hair.my hair is bleach platinum blond it's very thin and fragile yet my extension is not breaking my hair bc she knows how to do it!i would recommend anyone but especially blond to go to Eliza. read more

After much trial and error, I am relieved to say I have finally found my hair gal! Someone who is out of this world sweet and knows what she's doing? Very rare to find that combo. Thank you HELEN for going above and beyond to make sure I leave the salon with a smile on my face. Keep in mind I am beyond picky and it takes a lot (sometimes maybe too much) to make me 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Helen for all of your hair services. I can sit in her chair and close my eyes knowing that I will absolutely love how my hair turns out. Needless to say everyone at the salon is super sweet and they all have their own specialities so do yourself a favor, break up with your old hair salon and call HNL today. Reasonable prices, great location, top notch service, and the convenience of getting everything done in one place!!! read more

I have been going here for years and finally got around to writing a review. My hairdresser of 6 years Helen is amazing! She is kind, easy-going, and totally consistent in her communication and overall quality of service. Basically she is a lovely person on top of being a great hairdresser and has put up with my never-ending desire to change hair colors and styles. She is an artist and will be honest if something will be damaging or just not right for your hair/face shape. I have also gotten extensions by her- a few hairdressers specialize in them at this salon. When I wanted to take a long break (possibly forever) from them she was totally cool and recommended clip-ins, that she then dyed to match my hair color when I wanted extra volume. My husband now gets his thick hair cut and styled from Helen, and he tells me if we ever move out of state that we may just have to travel to her for his haircuts. I love the salon as its clean, elegant, and vibey without being overwhelming. I have often been there when very few people are around which is perfect for me as I hate crowded, noisy salons. Eliza, the owner, is great as well. She has set the tone for a modern, professional, and creative salon. So in short, I highly recommend Helen and this studio in general, just don't tell everyone you know and crowd up my favorite hair salon ;) read more

Went in today with vika and she was amazing! Last min hair cut for my dry damaged hair before my vacation! She took her time and explained a plan to get my hair back to healthy. She is so sweet and very good at what she does. She gave me the cutest most stylish bob! read more

Very helpful - even put their own money in my meter so I wouldn't get a ticket! The woman who did my nails was very nice. I do have my usual nail lady but I will certainly go back to HNL in a pinch for a fill or pedi. She is very thorough. I was offered coffee and water. The ambiance is upscale and current - really glam! Cheers! read more

The salon was absolutely exceptional the staff is extremely professional the work is cutting edge The prices are very competitive .Helen was my hairstylist and she was absolutely amazing. The owner is stunning and absolutely a pleasure to be around. They offered drinks there and on Tuesdays and Thursdays while you're getting your hair done there's a guy that could wash your car for $15 and he does really good job. read more

Helen and Eliza are hair goddesses!!! I leave HNL happy every time. HNL is the place to go for all your beauty needs, especially hair. Helen has cut, colored and put in extensions in my hair several times. read more

I am beyond pleased that I have finally found the one salon where I enjoy going and getting pampered by my girl Helen. Can I just say she's amazing at what she does? She knows how deep black I like my hair color to be so she gives me that and then some more. I absolutely love her blow dries which stay for several days and the flawless curls she does WOW! I highly recommend this salon to EVERYONE. The staff is really professional and extremely nice. They offer extension services and many services as well. Check them out! read more

The staff is very friendly and the interior is very nice! The prices are awesome too. I went for laser for my underarms and upper lip. I bought a package on Groupon for my underarms and added the upper lip after my 1st session. Upper lip is only 9 or 10 dollars per session! This is only my second time visiting a laser spa but this one far surpasses my previous laser place. The price is excellent and I am seeing great results! definitely recommend! read more

Helen is the Queen of Layers! I went to HNL on after reading Yelp reviews, and was not disappointed. I got my long hair trimmed with layers and received the best haircut of my life. Helen takes time to really listen to what you want, recommends ideas based on your hair type, and is all around sweet and professional. For those of you who love layers but have had to rock that mullet-ish bad hairdo, Helen will make your layered dreams come true. read more

Being from out of town, it is hard to find a new place to pamper yourself. After weeks of looking for a stylist/salon I decided on HNL. I called today and was able to get an appt TODAY with Eliza! I wanted all over highlights and a trim. She did a fabulous job and I will be back! read more

Helen put a whole headfull of blonde extensions in. She did a fabulous job. The color is perfect. The hair is soft and silky and doesn't tangle. She is kind and professional. thank you Helen! read more

This is a past due review of all the services I receive here. I've been coming to HNL for the past two years. I've never met a hairdressers that is as amazing as Helen. She cares for my hair as if it were her own. Helen always makes sure that she takes her time to complete her work. After coming to her my hair has never been healthier. I always LOVE the way my hair looks and feels after receiving her services. I also come to HNL to get my nails done. I have known Brigitte my whole life!! She is amazing!!!!!! I love the ideas she comes up with while doing my nails. Her great ideas always come through. Brigitte takes her time and completes her work with such perfection. Trust me you will not regret coming to her to get your nails done. I always walk out of there with amazing nails that always get complements. Love love love nails by Brigitte!! Another service that I receive at HNL is the eyebrow threading by Gloria. She is very funny and great at her job. I always come to her to get my eyebrows threaded. She does an amazing job and after leaving I feel like my eyebrows are on point! Gloria is the very best at her job. I would definitely recommend her for the job. She not only gets the job done but she goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and satisfied with the services you receive from her. Another service that HNL provides and I get for special occasions is makeup. I have gotten my makeup done for my graduation and a wedding I was in by Eliza. I also got my makeup done for Halloween by Cristina. Both are very amazing and I would recommend both to go and get your makeup done. They both take their time and always make sure that the makeup is perfectly placed. I always get complements on my makeup when I get it done. I usually go natural, but for the special occasions that I have gotten my makeup done I definitely feel glamorous. Finally I get my eyelash extensions done by Cristina. She is amazing !!!!! I need no make up now. Cristina takes her time and makes sure that the length and style is exactly what you want. It's a very relaxing setting and she is always willing to talk to you throughout the process. Cristina is a great person and very professional. I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my eyelashes done. Overall I get everything done at HNL! It's an amazing place with great people. I am always happy with the services I receive here. read more

I was looking for a full service salon that will pamper my wife for our anniversary. I found HNL by word of mouth, I remembered a friend of my wife's bragging about this place. Long story short, I am very pleased with their service, knowledge of style and the ambiance of the place. Most important my wife was well taken care of by Helen with Cut and Color and Laser service by Ashken next door at Medi-Spa and pleased enough to make HNL her personal salon. read more

Really enjoyed my visit to this salon especially with the hair dresser -Eliza D. She really listens to what the customer wants and is super friendly! She gave me nice cut and an amazing blow dry. I will definitely be returning! read more

This is the best hair, nail, and laser salon. Everyone is very very nice, friendly, and professional. It's a very cute place. The laser is amazing as well as All of there other services ! read more

I Love Eliza K. I went here upon a recommendation. I just turned 49 and wanted fun hair. I had gone to several salons over the year and have been disappointed. First of all, Elisa was extremely easy to book with and she has an amazing personality. She's very warm and I experienced my first cup of Armenian coffee. She paid attention to what I wanted ,though I struggled to explain my vision clearly. She is very detailed and fast. My hair went from mousy brown to a head of summer highlights without any damage. She styles meticulously. She will not let you leave until you are camera ready. I came home to my daughter who says she loves my hair and that I look younger (that's quite a compliment from a 14 year old). I will be back. I hope this salon stays around and gets all the success it deserves. read more

I love this place. I come here regularly for lash extensions and facials and let me tell you, Celeste is the best. For lashes, she knows exactly what length looks good on my eye shape and she is always professional and friendly. Love her! read more

I've been several times now to have Vika cut my hair. She's amazing! I've received a ton of compliments, and it feels good to look good. I'll be back again! read more

Helen was great. Super nice and accommodating. I got hot coffee and a double shampoo! She was fast and great with the blow dry. I loved the decor and it was clean and hip inside. The prices were amazing! I'll be back. :) read more

I love HNL! Eliza and Helen are amazing at hair. Extensions, color, cut, you name it they do it right. Both ladies are amazing and knowledgable about hair and haircare. I've been very happy with my extensions by Helen and really appreciate all the times I've been able to text and get an appointment same day :) also this place is a one stop shop! I've had great pedicures here and even eyelash extensions by Celeste who is absolutely amazing. So far I've enjoyed all the services I've received at HNL :) Thanks guys you rock! read more

I had tried many different salons and stylists until i finally found this gem of a place. HNL is a fabulous one-stop-shop salon with the most experienced and humbled stylists. I've been coming here for couple of years now. There are many stylists at the salon which is great if you need a quick appointment, but I always schedule with Helen. I consider myself as somewhat picky - i want it all - good service, nice and clean environment, good manners from everyone at the salon and fair price. I get it all at HNL and couldn't be more happier. It's easy to make an appointment with Helen, she's very responsive and accommodating, she takes the time to listen and offers her professional recommendations (which I usually go with and the end result is always stunning). She's so pleasant and fun yet professional and you can tell she's very passionate about what she does. Helen always uses the Oribe products on my hair which I'm absolutely loving. It's an amazing line and does wonders for my hair. I've bought a couple items from the line and am definitely going back for the shampoo the next time i'm there. They aren't pushy on selling you products which I definitely respect. I look forward to going to HNL because I know I can get my nails done (at the same time as my hair!) and make-up if I'm going somewhere fancy. The salon also offers many other services such as teeth whitening and facials (I haven't tried these yet but hope to soon). also, everyone raves about extensions with Eliza - I don't get extensions, but they certainly look amazing on the girlst that do get them. I highly recommend you give HNL a try if you haven't before, you will be glad you did. I'd give Helen 10 stars if I could because she's that good. xoxo read more

I love this studio and my esthetician Celeste! I have been going to her to get eyelash extensions for more than a year now and have never been dissatisfied! I recently moved to San Francisco and found myself driving back to Los Angeles to get my eyelashes done! Not only can I not find better prices in San Francisco, but I haven't been able to find better eyelash extensions. Celeste always listens to what I want, and has a great ability to fit the lengths and volume of the eyelashes to face shape. She always knows what will look the best on me. I fully plan on driving every couple of weeks to get lashes redone by her. The drive is worth it! read more
