Super disappointing and unprofessional experience with Kunai. We made an appointment on Tuesday for a haircut and beard trim on Saturday. I show at 10 am on a Saturday because he said that was the only slot he had available ahead of next week. When I arrive, other stylists are confused saying he had a retreat this weekend. Wish he would have communicated that to me instead of scheduling an appointment. I call and text while waiting, no response after 15 minutes. Roll the dice and schedule with him, MAYBE he will show up. Updating the review as Kunai called me at 12:15, more than 2 hours after our scheduled appointment, and tried to gaslight me by saying the appointment was for the following Saturday, which i would not have scheduled as I have an interview this coming Tues. He said I should have received a text from his app with the date he claims we agreed to. I never received it. In fact, the first text I received from his app (besides what he sent me for his cell phone with a link to his site after our call) was today when he canceled the appointment for the wrong date. Bad enough he didn't show for the appointment. Made more upsetting by his attempts to rewrite what actually happened. read more

An excellent experience! Kunai was very knowledgeable and made me feel beautiful with the transformation he did to my hair! My hair is thinning, and he made it look and feel so thick! I'll definitely be coming back! Betsy read more

Kutz by Kunai - Hair cut my Kunai! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

It's been a couple weeks since I got my hair done by the Great Kunai. I continue to get compliments on my hair, not only by people I run into in my day-to-day, but also by people who have already seen it. They comment on how good a job my hair stylist did and I confirm that he really did do a marvelous job. Kunai is not only knowledgeable in what he does, but he also has a passion for it and you can tell he cares about the work he does as well as the people he does it for. And it shows. So thank you once again for the beautiful hair I get to sport around. It has given me a new found confidence and my reflection in the mirror better matches how I envision myself! read more

I will never trust another person with my hair. He did my hair back for my senior prom and it was absolutely stunning. Then last week I brought my boyfriend to him and he did such a good job he not only convinced me to come back in and get my hair cut with him, but he also convinced my boyfriends mom to also come in and get her hair done. Such an amazing experience and well worth the price. read more

Kunai colored my hair and he was great. He's really a perfectionist at styling and coloring hair. He's a really nice man, fun and down to earth. Couldn't ask for more! read more

Kunai also known as Jared Kirkac is amazing he always finds a way to make me look fabulous. As you can see from the before and after photos I couldn't be happier. I look forward to doing business with him again as things resume normalcy. You might also see photos or before and after from the previous time for comparison to what I looked like without the beard. All in all couldn't be happier. read more

My daughter's hair was long before Covid, but during that tiny stretch of time we were able to visit a stylist, she was desperate to shed some weight and eager for a starting-freshman-year A-line cut...and we discovered Kunai. What a find he is!!! Yes, he's a gentleman, wonderful with teens, charming and funny, but he gives a KICK-A** haircut...and rockin' styling to boot! My daughter has never been more delighted by a haircut...nor more motivated to utilize the simple styling techniques he took the time to teach her. He was delightful, but more importantly, a talented, dedicated stylist. We'll definitely be back (when the pandemic allows); we HIGHLY recommend him!!! read more

Kunai always does an amazing job. He's great at what he does, he's extremely personable and lots of fun!

Adding/updating my review ... I am now Kunai's regular client, as of 5/7/21. I am a very loyal client to my stylist, aesthetician, nail artist etc so it takes a while for me to take my business elsewhere. However, after 20yrs I finally decided to move on. I am so happy that I came here. Kunai did a beautiful job on my red color and trim. He is very meticulous at his trade. I can see and feel his passion for what he does. And it definitely shows in his end product. I am so glad that I have opened the door to this relationship. Due to my lovely white roots we will grow old together, so basically you are stuck with me, Kunai Thank you again for doing such an awesome job on my hair read more

I've not let anyone but my hairdresser and friend cut my hair for over 25 years. It has been challenging as she is 3 hours round trip drive witch means I only go 2-3 times a year. I recently lost a fight with a brush and my hairdryer leaving me with severely damaged hair that looked frazzled, thin and uneven. I had no time to drive to my hairdresser to prepare for a new professional headshot. I have known Kunai from church for years and asked him for his opinion. Long story short, ( too late), I trusted him to cut over 5 inches off of my hair! It now looks thicket, healthie, and more shiny than before. He also helped me with how to best care for and style my hair. For something as important as your image and professional image, you owe it to yourself to get a 2nd opinion. Kunai is your go to guy for this help. read more

Best haircut I've had in years! 10/10 would recommend! Will be coming back for my next cut!

Jared is the best! He spent a lot of time and care on my hair, dying and cutting it. He also made my time there fun and entertaining. I could not recommend him more!!! read more

Kunai is amazing! He always listens to exactly what I want and even teaches me better haircare secrets! Doesn't hurt that he's pretty careful with my sensitive scalp too. I love that he takes the time to curl-dry my thick hair so it's picture perfect for the rest of the day. read more

Jared (Kunai) has been cutting my hair for a few years now and does a excellent job. He is very consistent and can give me the style exactly how I want it. He is very friendly and easy going. He provides the perfect mix of a professional and laidback environment. He does excellent fades! read more

I'll start by saying that it's been almost ten years since I went to an actual hair salon, on account of being traumatized and highly unsatisfied after every visit. The stylists never did what I asked for, whether it be the length of the cut, the style or the color. I got sick of hating my hair after every salon visit and of having it cut much shorter than I ask. So I resorted to trimming my own hair at home, which as you can imagine always turned out less than ideal, but I'd been trying to grow my hair out for years and every time I went to get a TRIM, I ended up with 3/4 of my hair chopped off, or an unflattering style. Now that my hair has reached my lower back, it's become unmanageable and unruly, not to mention severely damaged with split ends. After a couple months of debate, I knew I couldn't put off seeing a professional any longer. Jared (Kunai) came up at the top of my search results with excellent reviews. I looked through the photos of his clients and liked what I saw, so I contacted him and explained my situation. He got back to me immediately with an amazing response. He acknowledged my feelings of dread and mistrust and explained how we could go about getting my hair to where I want it to be without moving too fast. He asked questions, gave advice and asked to see some pictures of my hair so he could get an idea of what he'd be working with. Super professional and helpful. Setting up the appointment was very easy and he was able to accommodate me the next day. When I got to the studio, he immediately greeted me by my name and introduced himself. The studio by the way is super clean, well kept, organized and comfortable. Jared talked through what he was going to do and showed me how much he was going to cut and - GET THIS - trimmed off only as much as I was conformable with. I've been to various hair salons, even tried places in Beverly Hills, only to end up with too many inches and too many large bills lighter. Maybe I've just had bad luck the whole time, but I was never happy with how anyone did my hair. Jared told me what he was doing to the sections and how it would fall into place and even went into the science of hair (I'm not kidding, that man knows his shit). I didn't want to cut off as much as was actually needed and Jared was super supportive and understanding of that. He said that we could go in stages and I've already written down a reminder to make my next appointment. After he got done blow drying my hair, I was in awe. I LOVED IT. Absolutely LOVED it, and that's never been the case in the past. From the length to the style, it was exactly what I wanted. It looks and feels so much healthier now, I'm very pleased with the results. This was an incredibly positive experience and I am so thrilled that I've finally found a stylist that I trust. Jared was funny, friendly and a great conversationalist. He made me feel comfortable and happy to be back at a hair salon after so many years. I can't thank you enough Jared!!! See you in a few months read more

Not only is Jared quite skilled at what he does but he's someone you want to be friends with/hang out with outside of the hair cutting experience, which is a very rare thing, in my limited experience. read more
