No more brassy hair! Maryam was referred to me by a friend who said "she knows color" and it couldn't be more true. As someone with 3b and 3c curls it can be very difficult to find someone who knows how to appropriately handle my hair and understand how it doesn't lift the same as straight hair. I had been going to a curly hair salon nearby for years and was always disappointed in a general shapeless curly cut and color that was uneven and brassy. I came to Maryam desperate and with a bit of damage from the previous stylist. She transformed my hair both in terms of health and aesthetic. Maryam is incredibly knowledgeable about the right technique needed to achieve this incredible result in my photos. She's great with both cut and color and i highly recommend her to anyone looking to finally feel seen and understood with their natural hair! read more

I have recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and my hair has been falling out from Chemotherapy. I couldn't think of a better stylist to see other than Alex to style and cut my hair so that I don't continue seeing clumps of hair all over my house. The feeling of having your hair fall out in clumps is not a good one, and I wanted to be more in control. In about a week or two, I will have Alex shave my head completely. I had a nice day at Kenneth Brown Salon with Alex playing with different lengths of hair just so I could see the different stages and changes. She lifted my spirits and took care of me and we laughed alot. Eventually my hair will be gone, but I'm so happy I decided to see Alex this weekend to make me feel good again. Thank you so much for being an amazing person and a wonderful stylist. Here are a few pictures from our day. read more

Maryam has been cutting my husband's hair for a long time and does an amazing job! Recently my daughter asked if she could add some fun colors in her hair to celebrate summer. I spoke with Maryam and she took time to explain the process and reassure me the vision I had to keep it light and fun was attainable. I am so happy with the results! My daughter is thrilled and loves the fun new look. (Anyone who has a preteen knows how hard they can be to please) She was very helpful in recommending the right shampoo to keep it looking bright all summer until it's time to return to school. Highly recommend her! read more

Maryam is amazing! I have very curly hair and she does an incredible job straightening it. She definitely knows which products to use and does a very effective job of transforming my hair from extremely curly to completely straight without burning my hair. It stays straight even if I'm in foggy weather conditions. She takes the time to break my hair down into small sections when blow drying and using the straightening iron which assists in transforming it to the exact look I want. I highly recommend Maryam. She is one of a kind! read more

Alex Thomas did a fantastic job of highlighting and cutting my hair. I highly recommend her and I'm going back in a week. Thanks Alex!

If I could do zero stars, I would! I had an appointment with Andrea last Saturday and left with the 'Karen starter kit.' My hair was cut In a Bob but needed a trim. I told her she could take up to an inch off. I explained that I did not like highlights to be one colored skinny steaks, I liked them to be a little fuller (chunkier) and lived in, so I showed Andrea a picture of what I wanted. I told her I liked my hair to be all one length and the line of my hair to be blunt. I should have known she didn't have the skill set to do what I asked when I caught a quick glimpse of panic run across her face when I showed her the picture of what I wanted. Four hours later, Andrea is washing the bleach out of my hair. I go sit in her chair and notice that I have skinny streaks of highlights that look nothing like what I wanted. My heart started racing and I'm thinking to myself, this chick completely ignored what I told her I didn't want My highlights to look like. She proceeds to cut the back of my hair Into a rounded A line cut. You know the "Can I speak to your manager" cut. (See pictures if you don't know what I mean.) she turns me around, and I'm looking at my hair trying to figure out wha to do because I can see she clearly did not understand the assignment. I asked her to "take some of the weight out of it because I like my hair to be light and airy... My last mistake! She gets done and I'm just beside myself. I'm trying to explain to her, this was not anything close to the picture I showed her and she starts blaming me. At that point, I was like, I need to leave. all I could think about was getting to my car because I was about to lose it! She had the audacity to tell me she wouldn't charge me for the cut and said it'd be $180 for the highlights. I literally went to Target on my way home and got a box of dark hair color and died my hair dark that night! I feel like she should take that $180 and invest in a refresher course on current haircutting techniques. read more

Alex T. has been doing my hair for over 20 years! To say that my hair is thick & curly is an understatement..... Alex has taken care of my very difficult, thick, frizzy, curly from the root, hair since day one. It takes someone with decades of experience to understand the needs of my hair & she knows what it needs more than myself. Her artistic eye for color (& color correction) is something you can't teach. Her blowouts are SUPER smooth & SUPER straight. Even when she blows my hair out straight, I can still wear my hair curly, if I want to, due to her understanding of how to cut curly hair. My son, whose hair is straighter & thinner, even drives from LA to get his hair cut from her! Her understanding of what your hair needs, whether straight, wavy, curly, thin, thick, etc. is bar none! Thank you Alex T. for always taking great care of my difficult locks! ‍ read more

I needed a haircut ASAP! Lucky for me this salon is open on Mondays. I have never been. It's in the same shopping center a few doors down from Handel's ice cream. The salon is large and spacious and is very clean. The staff is super friendly. Hedi did my haircut and was not only friendly but very attentive to my needs. She did exactly what I wanted and took her time. I got a dusting or trim of 1" of dried split ends, freshened up my long layers and keep the straight across or blunt like ends. The haircut took about 2 hours for wash, cut, dry and styling. I definitely recommend Hedi for an awesome cut!! read more

I've been coming here for about 8 years. On my second stylist as my first wonderful stylist Adam moved away. I now have Song style my hair. He is truly amazing. I'm a creature of habit so haven't really changed my hair. Recently at his suggestion I decided to wear it a little longer. The cut and styling was perfect and I've gotten so many complements. The beautiful thing is the styles are easy to maintain. Just a round brush blow and curl and I'm off. If you're looking for an amazing stylist, see if you can book with Song. You won't regret it. read more
