    I NEVER write reviews, but for Jay, I will. First of all, he is an Angel and second, he is a miracle worker. My hair was very dark and he turned it into this beauty. I am in love with my hair and have received so many compliments and already want to go back to get my hair done with him.

    This is what I ended up with an Orange Balyage!

    "Nightmare Before Christmas" After extensive hours of research I came across this salon since it read 5 stars and no negative reviews I called and booked an appt for the following day. His salon looked very impressive and everything looked nice and clean. I mentioned to Jay how I wanted my hair even showed him some pics. I told him I wanted a light brown base with natural blonde balayage I also made it very clear to him that my hair had lots of warm undertones and how I didn't want my blonde to have any orange or copper tinge to it. We went back and forth him explaining to me and showing me a few different hair color schwabs I figured he knew what he was doing. He told me not to worry and assured me there would be no orange. After 3 hrs went by and he was finally rinsing out my hair I was so excited to see what my hair was going to look like when he removed the towel off my head I couldn't believe my eyes!!! My whole head was Bright Orange I looked like a straight PUMPKIN HEAD I couldn't believe my eyes. I waited for him to say something but he didnt say a word and started blow drying my hair. When he was done he charged me $330 . When I got home I started bawling my eyes out he had absolutely ruined my hai! ! I text him and asked him what the hell happened and he replied it Was going to take few sessions to get my hair to the color Iblond I wanted and had to wait at least 30 days so my hair wouldn't get damaged but that he would put a toner in it to try to get bring down some of the orange tinge. After a couple of days I went back when I walked in and He seen my hair he said I don't remember it being this red Even your roots are orange. He right away told me to have a seat and he put a toner in my hair which didn't do much at all. I asked him for a refund and he said he didnt do refunds and that it wasn't his fault because he didn't know what kind of product my previous hairdresser used on my hair that it must have been some cheap hair dye and that's why my hair turned out the way it did which is a dam lie cause my roots were grown out about 3in first of all and second I never go to any cheap salon and my hair has never turned out the way it did this time EVER.!!! WORST NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!!

    I really wanted to leave a good review since Jay is the sweetest and no doubt a great person. I came in with a groupon for a partial balayage and after discussing my hair goals, he let me know I would need a full balayage to get the results I wanted. Jay kindly allowed me to pay the difference to get a full balayage. Unfortunately, after 2 hours this is how my hair looked. Very streaky, not well blended, & orange. I ended up going to another salon and paying over $400 to get this fixed RIP to my wallet. I had high hopes for a Manhattan beach salon but maybe he mostly does caucasian hair, and Asian hair is very different.

    I started going to Jay about one year ago, best hair stylist! He always takes his time understanding what color or cut I want. Let's me know what products he uses before starting. Btw they smell soo good ! Jay is easy to talk to which is a must for me. I can honestly say Jay saved my hair from a lot of damage. My hair looks so much healthier and longer since going to Jay's salon. Btw the actual salon is just adorable & super clean! I can't wait to go back again !

    From simple highlights, cuts, to something exotic like lilac or rainbow dye, go to JAY. He is the go-to hair stylist with limitless options. If you have an idea of what you want but not quite sure how it'll look, he will assist you with explanation of what he will do, and the process of it that will best match your hair for better maintenance and best quality for longevity. I became friends with him after my friend introduced me to him 3 years ago, and ever since then, I get my fun colors done by him, and him only. He has great passion with ongoing new skills with the long list of amazing skills he already has, so ask away for your rainbow desires! For the price in comparison to most high-end studios, he is much more generous! The studio has this humble industrial look where you feel comfort and at home, with great hospitality. I am definitely looking forward to many more years of hair friendship, and new colors by Jay! Will provide a photo of my current hair style and color here.

    I went in to get a Balayage and Jay understood exactly what I wanted my hair to look like and was very nice throughout the appointment, he was also very helpful with suggestions on which products to use for healthier hair.

    Jay was recommended to me by a past co-worker who she herself is a hair stylist. I was looking for someone who used environmentally conscious products and that wouldn't destroy my hair. I did research on the Davines product line he uses prior to my appointment and it was exactly what I was looking for. Even more so I needed someone who had an extensive understanding of color theory since my natural hair was very dark and I wanted to go significantly lighter for a violet baylage. He fulfilled all my requirements and on top of it all, he goes one step further and educates you every step of the way. Looking forward to working our way to my goal look but for now I'm in love with the results from our first visit. I can honestly say that after 4 years in LA I have found MY go to guy! Even if it means an hour drive, it's worth it for me to know that I'm in the right hands. Thanks Jay, you're truly amazing!

    Jay took his time lightening my hair to get the beautiful Carmel balayage. My hair still feels super soft even after the lightening process! He also taught and explained different tricks and tips to keep my hair healthy, full and voluminous! You won't be disappointed. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time at the salon (3.5/4 hours) so everything has time to process correctly and your hair will be softer than when you went in.

    I waited a while to write this review hoping I would start to like the hair style Jay gave me if I kept thinking positive thoughts, but I just can't. The cut itself isn't terrible, but it's not what I asked for or agreed to. I decided to give this salon a try because it had a five star rating and was located around the corner from my new apartment. My hair was hip length when I came in. I showed the photo to Jay both in the app when I made the appointment and when I arrived. I knew my hair was going to be shorter than the blonde in the photo because I wanted to donate some of it. Jay and I agreed to the length which was approximately half way down my chest. That would still leave several inches between the longest layer and the face framing layers. By the time he was done, the length was barely touching my shoulders. Tomorrow I have my graduation photos for USC and I can't stop crying. I am debating skipping them because I hate how short my hair is. I reached out to Jay a few days after the cut asking for a partial refund to help me pay for extension and he reminded me that there is a no refund policy and offered a discount on a future service. I didn't take him up on it cause I won't be returning. I'm sure Jays great with scissors, but communication is lacking. If I would have known he was going to take so much more after the ponytail, I would have stopped him sooner.

She went to Mia yesterday and came back looking like she had received a cheap $20 haircut. I was shocked when she told me she paid $95 for this. Are you kidding me?

I brought in example/ inspo photo (just simple long layer cut) and asked for face framing pieces and showed it to the stylist, but the stylist barely looked at the photo. My hair looked nothing like the photo I showed, and it was cut much shorter than expected and the end feels choppy. I gave it more chance by washing and drying the day after, but it's overall disappointing. I had mentioned a few times I want to keep it longer like the picture I showed, but it wasn't heard. I couldn't say much more once the stylist made the very first snip and had to go along with it. It became even shorter by the end. I wish the stylist had been more proactive about the consultation before proceeding with the cut. I got an impression that the stylist wanted to get through the hair cut session as a quickly as possible. This was for upcoming graduation, so it is more disappointing. Again, very nice lady. Not too sure if it's just one time issue!

He services his scissors in Japan semi-annually just to maintain his equipments in great condition. This helps prevent split ends and other hair troubles I used to frequently encounter. Nori also uses a scale to formulate the hair colors. You can feel assured you won't come out of the salon looking funky. Appointments can be made online directly from his website, or by emailing/texting him directly. He is very flexible and accommodating with appointments. Lastly, parking can be found adjacent from the salon building structure. You can also charge your EV for free too. Amex accepted and drinks and clean environment offered. Can't recommend Nori enough.

    I went in to get a perm and cut…read more The vibe was very nice. Very respectful. His space was very clean and tidy with what seems, state of the art tools. I have had fine hair all my life, but even still my hair has always taken well to perms, always. Even the last one over a year ago. The only complaint I had was the use of larger rods which made my hair more wavy curl than curly. Nori had said that my hair wouldn't take well to a perm, but because I know my hair's history, I asked him do it anyway and he agreed to do it. First he used a more gentle solution because of my pervious perm over a year ago (did not ask if I wanted that), and I didn't know until he was already in the process of using it on my hair... my hair needs the stronger solution. Second he did a loose curl wrap instead of a tight curl wrap. With fine hair (or at least my hair) it needs to be curled up against the scalp. I think he did this because it was a hot treatment perm (which I never had before) vs a cold treatment perm. He didn't give an option. So the perm came out ok on the bottom because it already had the previous perm that was there from a year ago. But the top part of my hair had virtually no difference. If you have fine hair and looking to get a perm, I would not recommend Nori. I'm sure he does really well with all other hair services. To his credit, the perm itself, aside from the lack of curl, was a healthy perm (did not harm my hair) and he did give a very nice cut prior to the perm process. I think if he would have explained his treatment process and how it differed from what I had previously experienced, that may have helped my decision to go elsewhere, before wasting over $200 I had taken a year 1/2 to save. Again I think he probably does really well with the other services he provides. I just think for women (or men) with fine hair, you may want to think twice if you're looking to get a perm.

Thank you Nikki and Joe for working on me for 5-6 hours to get this done. Honestly, I almost feel bad because Nikki would explain to me the process in detail and I would be clueless and just nodding my head since this was my first time and I got no clue about being blonde along with the technical terms included in the process of doing it. She knew this and changed her way of explaining so that I could understand it better. Haha. Things I learned was 1 close my eyes when they're rinsing off the bleach, 2 also close my eyes when I'm on the dryer with the bleach and 3 take all the stretch breaks that's offered. There's always a first time for everyone. The results were amazing!! I was nervous, scared and excited because it was a big change but also I didn't know if the color was gonna match me. She assured me that it would look great and it takes a lot to say something like that because that just meant that she knew what she was doing and it was true. Experience was great! She also fixed my chunky haircut and made it more streamlined which ultimately shaped it up to look amazing. We also did a trial run of curls to see how long it would hold if I decided to get it done a day before my nurse graduation this month. Not to mention they're so eager to help out with your progress shots too. Thank you so much!! Will definitely be back in the future. :)
