This review is definitely long overdue! I've been going to Jerry since inception of his hair styling career nearly ten years ago, and I've followed him around the South Bay like a loyal little puppy. You would too if you've been fortunate enough to have a "hair by Jer" do, as he has become so affectionately known for. Growing up, I've always had the typical long and straight Asian hair look--no bangs, layers or color. And, because my hair is stick straight, it's hard to cut because precision is key--even the slightest error would be obvious. So my first cut with Jerry was something extremely drastic and I chopped my long locks to a shoulder length bob with bangs and I absolutely loved it! Although now looking back, I traded one Asian look for another, lol. It was easy to manage and maintain and require only 5 minutes every morning. The cut framed my round face really well and complimented my features...not trying to toot my own horn but those are things that many people want in a cut, and Jerry made it happen on his first cut with me. Since then, I've tried different lengths, different bangs and varying layers and I've been extremely satisfied with all of the cuts. He's also had to adjust the way he cuts and styles my hair since I've had kids since and them hormones do a number on everything including hair growth, texture and quantity. Although the pics that I have aren't the best (since I've had to go though years of pics) I have no hesitation recommending Jerry to others including my old boss/Director and he still goes to him! Jerry has a well-rounded clientele including women, men, children of varying ages--he does it all! Jerry is currently at Divat Salon in Manhattan Beach. Located right on Sepulveda and parking is available behind the building. read more

Jerry Madrid - Hair Stylists Near Me

Well, I just moved-in in the neighborhood and one thing I need to settle with is to find a local barber shop. Months have past and so as many barber shops. Luckily hair grows no matter what you do to it and sadly, I got butchered by local barber shops even though their Yelp reviews were decent. Enough is enough! Debating if I should go back to my barber shop in the Valley and call it a day. Easy said and done, right? You see, gas is not cheap and so as the trouble going through traffic...roundtrip?!?! Oh hell nah!!! Once again, Yelp did the job and it directed me to Mr. Jerry. 5 stars!!! You got to be kidding! There's no way! Yeah, I was skeptic but what the heck... So I made a call and right off the bat, Jerry accommodated my need for a hair cut ASAP (same day). He booked me with an evening appointment, which was rare for me but also worked with my schedule and his. I am not used to coming to a salon but this actually says a lot about him and his craft. My concern was how am I going to get comfortable and thinking if I should trust this dude to touch my hair and hopefully he would not mess it up. Okay!?!?! A short greeting and believe it or not my shield of ice broke and I was relax. Oh, he also had an assistant, which he is mentoring. That was cool! Anyway, he asked how do I want my hair done? While he assessed and observed my hair 360 degrees, I briefly shared him my past horror experiences with other 3.5 and above stars barber shops. He knew my concerns but he humbly appreciated that I reach-out and allowed his expertise into action. Scissors went flying, hoisted up and down the chair, few conversations and Viola! I'm a happy customer!!! If you're reading this and live in the South Bay area, please give this gentleman a call and you'll be swaggin' in no time! read more

A much overdue update: Four years later and I'm still hitting up Jerry Madrid for all my cuts. He's at Divat Salon in MB now. And still killing it. For dudes, he's my reco for your go-to guy for your hair. He's got a great eye and can work the scissors on even the toughest, most stubborn head of hair. (See my notes below, especially you Asian homeys, you know who you are.) Jerry's a rad guy with a cool personality. Keeps it real. And he comes from a family of old-school barbers, which mixed with his modern day stylist skills, makes for the perfect hair guy for us dudes. Also, while I'm not a woman and can't speak from experience, I have seen many ladies leave his chair with sick, stunning styles and color. read more

Color Genius. He knows the chemistry of transforming hair color and can get you the color you want and still educates you on tone adjustments that will keep you looking hot. My hair has grown so much in the last year and it looks better than I could have ever imagined. Quick-tip: Do Not miss your appointment, or be late. Otherwise you'll have to wait weeks to get another available time slot and you won't want anyone else touching your hair after Jerry. read more

Jerry Madrid - Jerry turned my hair from black to four beautifully intertwined shades of brown. The cut speaks for itself ;) - Hair Stylists Near Me

Jerry has not only become my go-to stylist, but also a great friend. What really sets him apart is that he is genuinely passionate about his work, and has built his career from the ground up with hard work. Jerry really makes you feel comfortable about trying out new cuts, colors, or treatments because he wants you to feel good about the way you look. He is a home-grown guy who lives and works in the South Bay, and I always love supporting my local peeps - I'm moving to NYC and I'm still coming home to get a haircut from him. But it's not just passion - the guy has talent!! I always get compliments on my cut and style - I've been going to Jerry for a few years and he's given me an amazing shorter bob (cut off 10 inches of my hair) and now that my hair has grown out, he styled my hair with layers to give it more body and character, while keeping the length. I LOVE IT!! Come see him at Magnolia Salon on Artesia and Green - have a glass of wine & relax and enjoy a great stylist and you'll leave feeling like a million - make that a BILLION bucks. PS. Jerry is a color expert! He does a great job with coloring my mom's hair. I can't tell you how many people think she's my sister now. I can't attest to having him personally color my hair, because he doesn't want me to get rid of my natural color :) Honestly, where can you find a stylist like that who genuinely gives you advice and doesn't just give you treatments for the extra dough! read more

Where can I start? Not only did Jerry accommodate to my availability & special needs when I first called to make an appt. but then when I arrived to the salon he welcomed me with a rose, a big smile & something to drink - good start huh? :) His brazilian blowout keratin treatment was IMPECCABLE! My hair is so smooth, straight & with NO FRIZZ!!! I also got a hair cut & he gave me a good deal so overall very very satisfied with the service and experience!!! I recommend Jerry 100%!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE him! read more

I'm a blonde so it can be a struggle finding an amazing colorist that won't damage your hair, but after 6 months of living here my girlfriends recommended Jerry. Jerry really wants to understand what exactly you want done - he communicates really well. He truly cares about the health of your hair and is always giving good tips to maintain your best hair. I'm so grateful to have found him and want to recommend all my friends to visit him too. read more

There are not enough stars. Jerry Madrid deserves more then 5 stars. I have been to many salons. I was at Luxe Lab in Santa Monica for years. I then went to Kasai Hair in Manhattan Beach, then the Londoner in Manhattan Beach. I have been to many hair stylist but Jerry Madrid is by far the BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN! Why? He knows what a man should look like. Actually I was a little embarrassed from what the previous stylists did once I saw what Jerry Madrid was able to do for me. I feel like this is how I am suppose to look. I see older pictures of me and I wish I met Jerry years ago! Jerry Madrid is crazy talented and he is passionate about what he does. My Fiance' found him on yelp because he has so many good reviews. I thank my Fiance' often for finding him and I can now see for myself exactly why he has so many good reviews. I am getting married in a month and I know Jerry Madrid will make me look the best I can possibly look for my wedding. Thank you Jerry! read more

I don't have enough great things to say about Jerry. As a guy who primarily stuck with buzz cuts, I finally decided to grow my hair out and take my look more seriously. I am SO GLAD I went to Jerry - he is knowledgeable, passionate about what he does, and really educates and works with you to give you your best look possible. I've gone to Jerry a couple times now and what I can tell you is he a humble dude and all-around great guy. Never pushy and he will always give you his suggestions about how to improve the cut. As far as the male population out there goes - if you're skeptical about going to some fancy salon to get your haircut - don't be. Jerry and his right-hand man Victor are incredibly welcoming and take all the pressure off of what can be an unnatural environment for guys. read more

I recently went to Magnolia Salon for the first time, and it was a great experience. It's a nice little boutique salon that's classy without being pretentious. But the real reason to go here is to have Jerry do your hair! I first went to him on a recommendation from a friend after seeing a picture of her new haircut. I wasn't really looking for a new hairstylist, but when I saw how awesome her hair looked, I had to give him a try. And I'm so glad I did! Each time he cuts my hair I absolutely love it, and receive so many compliments. In my book, that's the sign of a great hairdresser you should stick with read more

Amazing stylist. Very detailed, precise, and professional. Asks specifically for what you want with questions and does his best to give you what you envisioned. Talented with men's hair and woman's hair (my mom gets cut by him). And apparently he's really good with asian hair types too. Don't let the "only asians know how to cut asian's hair" stop you. read more

I'm not a fashionable guy, but coming here for my haircuts has gained me many compliments. i think the ultimate testament to jerry's work is that even guys have randomly come up to me just to say "that is some good hair, dude." and i know for every compliment there are more than have gone unspoken. i'm not saying this to boast about me, but its to show that jerry can give one awesome cut!! also - jerry definitely knows how to cut asian hair. i like that he's able to provide a look that is atypical of how most asian men wear their hair. the friendly service he provides is an added bonus. just come once and give it a shot. read more

Followed Jerry Madrid here from his last salon. As a guy it's hard to find someone that cuts and styles your hair the way you want it. Not only does Jerry do an awesome job but he's consistently great. I just had an appointment with him here at Magnolia and it was great experience. Cool place and easy parking, nice prices. Here's Jerry's number: 310 924-1256 read more

So happy I listened to a friend's recommendation to visit Jerry Madrid at Magnolia Salon. I have never gotten EXACTLY what I've asked for when getting my hair colored and cut. He makes you feel very comfortable, really listens to what you want, and got my color spot on after just looking at a picture I brought in. I will definitely be coming back to him from now on! read more

Because of Jerri I can now, finally, stop going all the way to Beverly Hills. It has taken me years to find someone who listens and cares about what I want with my hair. The first time I went to see Jerri, I was nervous. "Why?", I ask myself now. He was a breath of fresh air. He asks many questions before he begin his magic. He wants to be fully sure about how you style your hair, what you put in it, what you are looking for, and he aks about your lifestyle to get a hint of what your hair is exposed to. I have been in search for a stylist that can truly cut nice, long, seamless layers and I FINALLY found one- here in Manhattan Beach!!! Thanks for being so awesome at your craft, AND for being so cool, down-to-earth, and most of all, caring, Jerri! His assistant, Victor, is so rad too! Great peeps to have a conversation with! ;-) read more

Jerry is the best! He's been cutting/coloring my hair for over a year now and every time I've walked out of the salon I've felt confident that I got a great cut. Jerry is a true professional whose mission seems to be to simply make his clients happy. Love ya Jerry! read more

Jerry was great. He was really friendly, attentive and really cared about getting my hair right. He was also able to squeeze me in on short notice. I'll be coming back for another great men's cut when it's time. read more

I've been going to Jerry for about 3+ years now and he is the BEST! He always creates exactly what I picture in my head and he goes above and beyond to make sure I am happy with the outcome of my haircut! You won't be sorry if you go to him to have him take care of your hair and I can guarantee you will be a client for life!! read more

Jerry is hands down my beloved, trusted, go-to, one and only stylist. He is devoted to his craft and will stop at nothing to ensure the happiness of his clients. Each and every time I come in he is ready to pamper me. Something I find to be invaluable is his commitment to keeping my hair healthy. I could go on and on about Jerry. He is passionate, caring, attentive and prepared to take complete and utter care of his clients. I'm at the point where I just let him do his thing and he continues to impress me. Thanks Jerry, you're the best!! read more

Been going to Jerry for around two years. Every time I have left extremely pleased. On top of the haircut, great guy, good to talk to while getting your hair done. Highly recommended! read more

Is Jerry still here? I had a great haircut from him a month ago, but now I can't find him through the number on yelp.

ask for jerry madrid. my fiance and i were getting ready to take our engagement pictures and we decided that his caveman look was no longer cute. he had grown out his hair for the first time to his shoulders. he started using my ponytail holders. he hadn't cut it in a yr. and when he didn't shave, he looked like the caveman in the geico commercials. so he reluctantly agreed to cut his hair as long as i found someone to do it. his co-worker told him about a salon but didn't give him the stylist's name. this is when i turned to yelp. in reading the salon reviews, i knew that jerry madrid was the person i needed to find. this was jerry's previous salon. so with luck we found jerry at magnolia. we got an appointment the afternoon before our engagement pics and we couldn't be happier. i already showed my girlfriends a pic of my fiance's new haircut and they all love it. we're definitely coming back to jerry madrid. read more

After years of searching for a reliable and skilled stylist, I thankfully found Jerry!! He's the BEST! I've been going to Jerry for 4-5 years now. My hair is on the thinner side, yet looks thick, so finding someone who knows what style looks best was not an easy task. Enter Jerry!!! He knew exactly how to help. I recommend him to everyone...my mom, my sister, my friends, YOU. He pays very special attention to styling and cutting your hair so it always looks amazing. Besides being incredibly talented, he's down-to-earth, humble, funny, and very nice. You will not be disappointed by your experience with Jerry. If anything you'll be excited you found him! read more

I have been going to Jerry for the past 3 months and i am very pleased with the way my hair turns out. Previously ive been struggling to find a decent stylist and after trying many of the top rated stylists in the south bay (rated by yelpers) ive finally found my hair stylist. Not only does jerry take the time to understand your desired look and end goal, he meticulously cuts your hair (sometimes with his own flair) to make you look amazing... guys, girls, long hair, buzzed... he can do it all. Best of all, not only is jerry in tune with style, the man knows how to cut hair, which is a rare quality in stylists ive encountered. Well done jerry. read more

If you are looking for a great cut and perfect highlights, then Jerry Madrid at Magnolia is your guy! Jerry took the time to listen when I tried to explain that perfect shade of blonde I was after (in which I described as '"that golden, beachy look") and nailed it. And he has completely changed my cut for the better, getting rid of that blunt layer I had in the back (from a former stylist), and making it so easy to blow dry and style. I am never disappointed when I leave Jerry's chair. Magnolia is a cute little salon, with its own lot and the staff is so friendly. read more

I've been going to Jerry for the past 3 years after finding him through the Londoner's yelp reviews. I had been struggling to find a stylist who could do my highlights without making them look streaky or too brassy. I decided to give my highlights one more chance after reading the reviews about Jerry and I'm soooo glad I did. Jerry's work is consistently flawless and he takes his time to make sure i'm completely satisfied. Now I see Jerry at Magnolia and I just got a Brazillian Blowout and love how silky and shiny my hair feels. Don't bother going to anyone else!!!!! read more

When I got engaged, I was on a mission to find a great hair stylist for my wedding. I no longer wanted to get a 10 dollar hair cut from the lady I have been going to since high school, felt like it would be inappropriate for a wedding. Since going to Jerry, who was highly recommended by a friend, I have gotten great compliments from people whom I see everyday. Needless to say, I will be proud to wear a "Jerry Madrid Doo" on my wedding day. Thanks JERRY! read more

When Jerry asks you what you would like done to your hair, he really, really listens. He does exactly what you ask so for my first hair cut I asked him to cut one inch--knowing it would probably be more--well, it was exactly one inch! You can not only trust him to do what you want him to do, you can trust his assessment of what is best for you too. He corrected my color to exactly what I wanted and now even hair stylists that I meed casually complement me on my color. My last 8 months with him have been great and wherever he might move to in the future, I will be sure to follow. read more

Jerry takes cutting hair to an art form. I probably have the most difficult hair to cut on the planet and he did an amazing job. Such a good job that my girlfriend was blown away and decided she had to now get haircuts from Jerry as well -- and she is equally thrilled with the results. In addition to being an all-around great guy to talk to while sitting in the chair, Jerry really takes the time to find out what a client wants and do the best job possible. I can't say enough good things about his talent and professionalism. I'd give ten stars if it were an option! read more

Jerry is a color genius! He does a great job of listening and executing the color you want. He also maintains the health of the hair. He is amazing! read more
