Johnny's is definitely a hidden gem! I had no idea they were nestled in the lot with other businesses across from the way from the Carson mall. I visited today and definitely felt that 'aaaaaahhhh' moment when I walked in. I got assistance from Betty who helped me figure out what items would be good for the style I want to achieve. She was super helpful and knowledgeable about the products she recommended! I got crochet hair and some Hawaiian silky product today and I'm so excited to use what I purchased. Hours Open 7 days a week: Monday- Saturday 9:30am-7:30pm; Sunday's 10am-6pm They also have a sister location called Jenny's in Hawthorne! Johnny's has sooooo many products from skincare, hair, makeup... this is a BOMB beauty supply filled with all things beauty. I didn't get a chance to see everything but I'll definitely be coming back. Check them out -- you'll be in awe like I was! read more

I didn't take any photos but they had exactly what I was looking for. The store has SO MANY different products and they will definitely have what you need. The edge control I needed was less expensive at this location also. read more

Extremely rude and dismissive. I asked a question about a product and she just repeated what was on the bottle. I can read! The answer was given in a rude tone. If it wasn't so close to 5 and I didn't need the product for work tomorrow I would have just went to a different beauty supply. My total was $9.91 and they were still going to charge me the 75 cent fee for orders under $10. I got a lip pencil that was $2 more. There used to be a rewards program, they used to give samples, now it's nothing. They say hello as if just to let you know that they are watching you. It's too many beauty supply stores to get treated like this. I normally go to Textured Tech but lately they've been out of everything. I will not make this my backup, I'm not going here anymore. read more

The Asian lady answering the phone could improve her attitude. She's rude as F*** & when I ask if y'all have something I'd like for you to actually go look for it & not just say yes you have it cause if I get there & y'all don't it will be a problem because I was lied to read more

They have everything! I don't interact too much to know how the customer service is - I get my items and go lol

Went this place and the owner looked at me for first time and with Mean evil stir and as I passed him by he didn't move or say hello as greeting. Why we shop at a place where we are not welcomed except our Dollars because they give a fk read more

Please consider visiting a different beauty supply. I've been in here twice, since its closer to where I live than the usual supply I go to. Besides the fact that it is so cramped and claustrophobic on the inside that you can barely fit much people comfortably in an isle--I've been watched like a hawk both times ive been in there. I went in looking for a wig to wear for my birthday, and ended up having to leave because immediately after i got into the isle, i was met with a very rude; "What do you need??" from the employee. Upon mentioning that I was just looking, the employee stood there with her arms crossed and watched me down as I searched. This establishment is not black owned, so I ended up leaving since I felt so uncomfortable. If I needed assistance shopping, I would have gladly asked. There was nothing about my behavior to show that I had any malicious intent when shopping, so being watched from the very moment i walk in as if i was going to take something without paying was insane to me. Any professional beauty supply might ask if you need assistance, but leave you the hell alone if you say that you need none. People are NOT going to want to come into your establishment if you're going to treat them as if they are not welcome. Do you want the money or not? read more

I came in tonight to buy some human hair. Now, I've been here many times before. Service has been meh to okay in the past. As soon as you walk in the door, you turn right and you go to all the hair, including braiding hair, wigs, weave hair, etc. Well, they have it blocked off now. Not sure why...surely it can't be because of Covid. I mean, I understand with wigs, you may not want people trying them on, but packaged hair?? Why would you not allow anyone to walk over and actually see the choices?! And they have a very loooong row of hair, so how do you point to what you want, when you're at the end of the row, so you can't see anything?!! The hair I was interested in was located in the middle of the aisle! The guy told me that the owner didn't want customers over there. I asked him how in the world does that make sense to not be able to look at the choices??! How are you supposed to know which color you want? I had an idea of what the package looked like from buying it before and I knew that I wanted a blondish color, but I needed to see it, so I pick the right one, because I wasn't sure of the area it was in. I told him never mind if I can't even see it. He just walked away. He didn't care about losing a customer. Really??! During a time like this when businesses are closing left and right??! Yeah okay buddy...good luck with that! What am I supposed to do, tell him to bring me all the blondes you have? That is SSSSSOOOOOO STUPID! That's like going in the grocery store and they have the aisle of bread roped off and you're supposed to tell them to bring you all the wheat bread. Do you have any idea how many different packages they'd bring over?! Sounds stupid as hell, right?! That's because it is! I hate these businesses with bullshit customer service and super inflated prices that move into minority areas and depend on those minority customers to pay their bills and keep them in business, yet they lack basic customer service skills and treat us like they are doing us a favor, when it's actually the other way around. Fuck this place. I'll just drive into LA for what I need from now on. You know, we Black women get excited having a beauty supply that fully caters to Mixed and Black hair care in the South Bay Area, but when you encounter behavior and treatment like this, it's time to quit going and just take that extra drive to LA or even Hawthorne. Anywhere, but here! read more

Great selection Friendly staff happy to assist Clean & organized Awesome wig selection read more

I called their place at 6:32PM and I was told that they start counting the register at 6:50 PM and they close at 7 PM. I flew from San Pedro and made it there at 6:58 and they had a sign up that said it was closed and the door is locked. The woman comes to the door and tells me oh we're closed. Well that was obvious, but I explained to her that I called and spoke to someone on the phone and I explained to her what I was told and that she had me rushing over here before they're closing time at seven. I AM PISSED! If you close at seven, then you should close at 7 PM and if you don't take transactions after certain time, then you need to make that clear as well. The person I spoke with on the phone understood English and spoke extremely well. read more

I came here because I like to recycle my black dollars and Textured Tech was out of the hair I needed. I searched black owned beauty supply and this was one that popped up. I do not believe it's black owned since the lady behind the counter collecting the money was Asian. I don't mind making exceptions and spending outside my community but I don't like being deceived. Just because you cater to the black community doesn't give you the right to claim Black owned. Makes me wonder in what other ways they may be taking from our community. The woman behind the counter was decent. Quiet. Apologized for ripping my receipt. However, I had to find what I was looking for on my own. There was no welcome, may I help you, or anything like that. Perhaps she was off helping someone else when I came in. read more

It's truly disheartening to invest so much money in a business only to be treated with suspicion and rudeness when verifying my credentials as a licensed cosmetologist. Today marks the end of my patronage here. It's important to remember not to be dismissive or disrespectful. I am indeed licensed, and it's disappointing to be doubted. I provided proof by showing my license on the official breeze.ca website, only to be met with skepticism. You no longer need to concern yourself with me as a customer. Seriously! read more

Just walked up to Johnnys. They close at 5. It's 4:54 and the lady holds the door as I pull it and locks it in my face. Very rude.

The Selections is childish. If you're African-American like myself I would not recommend you go here, they advertise all black women in the windows, but they disrespected black women. This sassy man followed me around the whole store, when I decided to use his assistance in following me by asking a question he laughed at the questions I asked, he degraded me, then said "how you don't know the different" then told me I can leave because I said you're being rude. I do not recommend this business. read more

Johnny's Beauty Supply - He's a weirdo - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Carson, California

I rushed through traffic to get to this store today and arrived at 6:55 only for the ladies working to tell me they were closed when there were still customers inside. I only needed one thing and knew what I was going in for. I have been a customer here a long time and have spent plenty of money. Not ok and a big waste of my time. read more

Love this place!! They have almost everything my go to "ghetto" beauty supply lol. Iykyk what i mean by that. Been goin here for years. Loyal customer. read more

Went in there about 5 years ago and the clerk was so busy chatting on her cell phone in her native tongue that she didn't even acknowledge me, so I walked through the store and out. She still said nothing to me. Since it had been five years since my boycott, I decided to try again. When I entered the store, the clerk was engaged in foreign language conversation with a gentleman, who appeared to work there as well. I walked through the entire store and back to the front. Their conversation continued. As I was exiting, she says to me in English "Did you need some help?" I replied, "I did, but it seems you were too busy to help me." She replied in a sarcastic tone, "Well that's okay." I'm done. Never plan to set foot in there again. Too many other places of business. , read more

My go to shop for a variety of hair gels and accessories. They always seem to have everything I need.

I live in Carson and frequent this store. Ive bought many products from here. So I go in there today to buy some wigs. The asian broad/owner gives lack luster service to start. Then I ask to try on some wigs, and she says "we dont allow that"! So, you think that you can give the black dollar no respect!?! You expect us to buy product blindly? Thats the dumbest shit Ive heard for heard for a business! I believe that you have this practice because you dont respect the black customer! The Carson and neighboring communities are comprised of Black people! Treat us with some respect or move your business elsewhere. There is no place here esp. for a business that doesn't value and respect the black dollar! A damn shame, she cudda made some money today! I just read other reviews w the same sentiments! DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS! THEY NEED TO GET OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY! read more

Friendly staff... ALWAYS STOCKED... and OVERPRICED. One of few beauty supply stores in Carson. You name it, they have it! read more

Then I'm like ,"idk it looks weird he goes well how do you expect it to for you have too much hair " with a rude tone . I grab the wig off and net threw it on the table and then tell him you don't know what you're talking about once I braid my hair it will but idk how to put it on but you been so unprofessional and My daughters hasn't bugged you and now I should try the wig cus I have to much hair if you were professional you would've told me it will fit once you braid it CLEARLY your just he owner cus you don't know what your talking about ..and ur rude af like you don't even want me buying it !

Don't go here the Asian lady has a attitude bad customer service. Only the African American lady was nice enough to help. RIDICULOUS!! She doesn't even make u feel welcomed! You have to make your customers feel welcomed. No wonder it's so empty inside. read more

There is a black owned beauty supply near by called Textured Tech, the employees at Textured Tech are way more friendly and helpful. The address is 441 e carson st in Carson,ca. Check them out! read more

Great variety of items and great service. I was having an emergency because my nails were all messed up after painting them earlier that morning. Sooo had to get a remover and quick dry top coat right away lol. This place caught my eye and I walked in to find a nice shop with a gazillion items. The cashier seemed like the owner and he was welcoming, bright, and helpful. Want to go back! read more

I find it interesting that business owners often times forget that the customers are the ones who keep them in business. I just left Johnny's beauty supply. I've been there a hand full of times in the past. I had my son with me who was sitting in a chair in the wig section and the owner rudely tells "him kids aren't allowed in here you need to step out" I address him on the tone and manner in which he spoke to my child and he stated "what, that's the way that I talk" I advised that the rude manner in which he spoke was unacceptable and that he could have utilized common courtesy and further more he should have told me instead of my child that there was an issue. He proceeded to attempt to argue with me about how he was right and I told him that his business is supported by community members like myself and that I'd be sure to put the word out about his behavior. He said he's a member of the community too and I told him ok and proceeded to leave. Unbeknownst to me he had already been rude to my son when he ask about a product for me. My son asked him if there was a smaller size and he asked him in a condescending tone if he sees a smaller size while waving him off. I do understand that there is a culture and language barrier that often exists with Asian cultures, however, this is not such an instance. His attitude and demeanor is reprehensible and I urge others to keep this in mind should you choose to patronize this business. Not to mention he walked up on me using hand gestures and I had to ask him to back up because he was in my personal space. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would! First off, I never stepped foot into the store because I called to see if they even had the product in stock before I drove 45 minutes to the store to buy it. Before I could even finish inquiring about the item, the person on the other end of the phone cut me off to say that they do not give out prices over the phone. I said "FIRST OFF, do you have it is what I wanted to know." the person on the phone said "Yes, but I'm not giving you the price of it". Customer service is paramount and this business has failed TREMENDOUSLY! My hope isn't that they turn their practices around, but that the entire business folds because the reality is these owners probably are taking your money back to Torrance and not reinvesting in the community or demographic of people who's money they are lining their pockets with in any shape, for , or fashion. I refuse to patronize an establishment that attempts to belittle and chastise a potential customer without even properly addressing the question. Normally, I would drive 45 minutes or more for anything that I want, but keep in mind that I WANT the product I do not NEED it and I certainly do not need the product from this bum ass establishment, with bum ass customer service, from BUM ASS PEOPLE! read more

Great location, terrible service. The owners and staff are just unpleasant. It doesn't matter how many years you've been shopping there or how much you buy, still rude. Act annoyed when you ask where something is or if they have an item. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I purchased a lace front human hair wig here in December 2019. I love it!!! It is beautiful and I have received so many compliments! The owner was gracious and nice enough to fit it and even style it before I left. Great place to buy a wig! read more

The guy called my daughter a stupid bitch. I wish I could give 0 stars. My experience echos another yelpers. My daughter went in to try on a wig, the guy was giving her a hardtime. She got tired of his rude behavior and said something smart and he called her a stupid bitch. As a business owner you should know better. When I went in to ask he directed his horrible attitude towards me. Never again! read more

Awesome supply store, reminds me of those in Brooklyn, NY. A drive from Orange County but well worth it. Quality wigs with great range in pricing and other well stocked beauty products. Great service as well! While in Cali this will remain my top beauty supply store, go Johnny's read more

Great experience, the young lady working was very helpful to all my questions. The inventory here is wonderful! They have most of everything here. Nice to find a great beauty supply in southbay oils/braid hair/clips/beads/rubber bands. Since moving here that has been a challenge to find a spot with a WIDE array of products. Great variety! read more

Once in a while I come here, for hair clips or nails supplies. The prices re eh alright. Customer service is helpful and informative, but sometimes not the friendliest. Perhaps it's the culture that comes off a little rude, but maybe that's just how they speak and some people like myself, take it the wrong way. I don't know, to be quite honest with you!? All I know is that I've shopped here three or four times with in the last couple of years. I see the same people working they are out all my visits. I've bought several different things, but mostly hairclips and nail products like cuticle cutters, nail files, nail polish and pumice scrubs. Some of the items are fairly priced. Some items are a little pricey for what it is, but they do offer different brands of one particular thing. Therefore you can price compare. For the most part, for specialty beauty items, this place is a good go to. For simple beauty needs that you can find at Walmart, I suggest that instead. Debit and credit cards accepted read more

Almost what I was looking for. Pretty good selection although not as much as I would have liked. Prices seemed high & seeing as I'd already come this far from Orange County in search of he perfect hair I decided to keep on going to Inglewood. read more

I stopped coming here years ago because of how rude the main cashier (not sure if he does anything else because he never leaves the cash register) is. I visited the location a few weeks ago and the person there was very nice and let me know that because I have a professional license I'd receive a discount on my products. I walked in today and selected my items (exact same items as before) and the cashier (the rude one from years ago) says No no discount on this. I said I was just here a couple of weeks ago buying the same stuff when I was given the discount and he says well you won't get a discount today and no one else will either in a harsh tone and rolling his eyes. I let him know that I only came back because of my experience the last time but I will not be returning again. His response was "oh well" read more

Listen up, sista friends! No matter if you're natural or relaxed, this place has anything and everything that anyone with textured hair could need (with the exception of Qhemet Biologics). The product junkie in you will be pleased! Wigs, makeup, pomades, lotions and potions, etc. etc...if they carried henna I would never need to go anywhere else! I have been going here for a while and they have REALLY stepped their game up as far as crochet braiding hair selection. They carry a ton of textures that you can't find at Sally's or other places in the South Bay, including pre-twisted. read more

This place is awesome .. They have everything and it's affordable .. Both the man and the lady were very nice to me and even helped me pick out some good hair with in my price range .. They even have black opal .... Everything you need is here I love this place it's my go to place from now on the beauty supply stores in corona are too expensive and rip you off not this place they even gave me some samples too for free read more

Johnny's Beauty Supply - This place is freaking awesome - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Carson, California

Went in with a friend of mine to see if we could score some suppa cute wigs and left pretty displeased. They have some of their wigs outside the place (which is what drew us in) my friend liked one so we went in to try it on (we brought our own wig caps) and the guy rudely responded with "do you see that sign, you can't try" the tone threw us off. It was really weird for us since we've both gone to other wig shops that happily help you try on, with a wig cap of course. Because how else are you going to know if you like it and if it's you? Idk not the biggest deal, but don't come here if you're looking for some sweet tlc in the wig department. read more
