My hair clocked in at 34 inches today! Thank you Angelo for all the magic you work on me. @angelo4hair on instagram!
Mia M.

I love this salon and will always come back here :) I never really cared about my hair until Angelo showed me the right products and regiment. He works wonders! I'm obsessed with my hair now. So soft!

The best salon in Long Beach! I was able to get everything done the day before an event I had: Spray tan, nails, hair, and eyelashes. So grateful to the JW team for the amazing job!

After leaving an appointment with Lee i even got a trim

What can i say Leland Magallanes has been doing my hair for over 15 years and i just love him and his style. Be sure to book early as he does fill up - but he tries his best to accommodate everyone. He's always there to listen while doing your hair and boy he will make you laugh (laughter fuels the soul). He specializes in various types of hair and has been doing hair for quite some time. I don't believe he does weddings anymore (you'll have to ask) but he did make me feel like the prettiest bride ever. So if your looking for some good laughs and amazing hair be sure to contact Leland 562-209-1290

Hair ala Claudia

This salon has a casual and friendly atmosphere and they use great products. I discovered them when my awesome stylist, Claudia Quelle, started there. She is amazing- both in talent as a hairdresser and as a sweetheart of a person. If you're looking for a new stylist, particularly for creative color, you should try Claudia. I get compliments on my hair- auburn with a shock of platinum at my part & bangs- all the time! And Claudia's own hair is currently beautifully colored Cruella style but vibrant teal one side & purple the other. It reflects her loca Latina persona very well. I have come to love this lady and her work. You would too!

Perfect color and cut, by Angelo!
Holly D.

Angelo was amazing! My color turned out perfect! Highly recommend. The perfect blonde. And great cut.

Leland is one of the best stylists I've ever gone to. I've come here a few times and have always had a great result. So when I wanted to try something new and bold, this was the only place I could trust. I set up an appointment with Leland to do my very first perm and it was spectacular! Very thorough and it was everything I hoped it would look like. He talked me through the process and made the experience so easy for me. Definitely recommend!!

Holly P.

Sky, saved my hair! It was pretty "fried". She is amazing with color. It's a gift, she is so talented. My hair has never looked better. Thank you Sky! I'm the redhead. My sister is the blonde

Uh oh
Bryanna P.

I generally have my BFF do my hair but when I don't, I come here and see the wonderful & magical Mr.Lee. This is a full service salon. I have even had my make up done here and they did a wonderful job (Not by Mr. Lee). Located off of Broadway this lovely place has a private parking lot, so no worries about searching for parking in this congested part of town. Plenty of other hair dressers here, and they all seem to do a lovely job and are all super friendly. So if you are looking for your new go to spot, I highly recommend JW Goodsons.

Not only is Susan an expert in skin care, but she won't oversell you on a bunch of crap you don't need. I'll never forget my first visit when I asked for something rather aggressive and she told me I needed to wait some years until my skin needed that level of treatment. I've had trouble with my skin as an adult since moving from the east coast which is very moist and humid to the very dry climate of the west coast. My skin dried out and started over producing oil to compensate, which led to very deep very large nasty and extremely painful cystic acne breakouts. Enter Susan. She started me off with mild and gentle peels that made the recurring cysts disappear and helped heal the pigmentation they left behind. I stopped seeing Susan for a while because I couldn't fit visits into my budget. The acne came back after 3-4 months. When I resumed monthly visits, in less than three months, my acne disappeared again along with all the new hyperpigmentation. This woman is a skin magician and one of the best people I've ever met since living in SoCal. Your face will thank you.

The best thing to do is book the consultation option and talk through what you want for your skin with Susan. You may have thought you needed a peel, but a different facial might be the better option. I don't have troublesome skin and it's not very reactive, but even so I do not get any dry patches or sensitivity after a more "aggressive" treatment and that's likely due to the care she take with your skin. She carries a lot of cool products/brands in her studio, but she never pressures you to buy anything.

No arrogance, no ego, not afraid to just state the expense without hesitation. So many people do not understand how important this is. Because she was so open that allowed us to plan potential future treatments, explore possible options and generally have a great experience - without pressure or confusion. Madi was a pro. She rocks not only her profession, but the whole customer experience.

She takes the time to understand your skin, your goals, and what's actually going on instead of just going through the motions.

There's never any pressure, just helpful guidance that's clearly based on what will actually work for you. The spa itself is in a super convenient spot in Long Beach and parking is easy, which makes a difference. The whole team is always warm and welcoming, and the vibe is calm and relaxing every time I go. Emma is a big reason I keep coming back, and I'd absolutely recommend checking this place out.

What drew me to this place were the various services they offer: infrared sauna, compression therapy, salt room and other self-care treatments! I booked with the owner who was kind to share there was an upcoming special so I booked my appointment on the day of the special she had running. Thank GOD for the special because they are a bit pricey, imo but it is worth the coins. Arrived early and was able to get a tour by the receptionist (didn't get her name) showed me around everything was clean, well organized and a vibe. My service was compression therapy with Camille and apparently I'm a G (self-titled) because I was told after my session that most first timers are recommended to get 45 mins -- mine was 1hr. The therapy was like a combo of detox, massage with applied pressure and HIGH heat. It has low, medium and high setting mind you you're wrapped up and drenched from head to toe when you're done. What I loved most was the attentiveness and care Camille took with me. Explaining everything. Made me feel comfortable. Checked in on me during the session. Helped me get fluids in (because you can't move that much with the wraps). Camille is truly so sweet and I would love to do future sessions with her.
