    Vivian L.

    After a traumatizing balayage at another salon, my hair was left in shambles. On Christmas Eve, I lost over 50% of my hair due to severe bleach damage, which took a huge emotional toll. For the past three weeks, I had to keep my hair up at all times -- I couldn't wear it down or even run a comb through it without losing more hair. No matter what I did, the damage was obvious: my hair was fried, breaking, and sticking out everywhere. I reached out to L2 Beauty Salon via Facebook Messenger, shared photos of my hair, and received quick responses. They offered a free consultation, and I booked a master haircut with Leo, who I can honestly say saved my hair. As Leo carefully cut away the dead hair and evened out the breakage, I felt emotional and worried that nothing could help. He made me feel comfortable and allowed me to make my own decisions, with no pressure. After a relaxing, wonderfully scented hair wash, Leo blow-dried my hair, double-checked everything, and added layers. The transformation may not look dramatic in photos, but the difference was unmistakable -- and I loved it! My hair was smooth, no longer sticking out, and I could run a brush through it without hearing rips. Thank you, Leo, for your care, patience, and support. I fully trust him and will absolutely be back for treatments to repair dryness and damage. It's clear he works with genuine care -- not just for his clients, but for his coworkers as well. I've been searching for a go-to salon, and I'm so glad to say I've finally found one.

    Been looking for someone who can actually cut my hair the way i like and I finally found a place. Paid $65 for my haircut. Came back here for highlights. Paid $360. Wish it could be a lighter base color. But all in all, I like Ming's work. She took time in cutting my hair. Made sure it turned out the way I like. Service was great. Staff were nice! Will surely come back. :)

    I'm not usually one to leave 2 star reviews but the results were just not what I wanted for how much I paid. I have been looking forward to trying this salon after seeing it on Instagram. My original hairdresser canceled, so I booked here and communicated the color I wanted in advance. When I arrived, I was assigned a different hairdresser than the original owner I was communicating with. There was a slight language barrier, but I assumed the owner would relay my request. The stylist was still friendly and even brought snacks, but the result was just not what I expected. My hair was super ash grey, very different from the photo I showed and there were a lot of uneven streaks with hints of blue and green that my friends even noticed. I paid $550 including tip for this. I returned for a follow-up appointment and while the salon did a good job following up and offering a free session, I was hoping they could readjust it to be more brown + blond like the photos but they made the same stylist do my hair again and he just toned it all brown basically back to my original color before I did my hair at all. Overall, I appreciate them making an effort to follow up, but ultimately the result just wasn't what I was looking for, and I left feeling pretty unsatisfied especially given the price point.

    This is my second time at the salon, and Leo has been amazing both times. The first time, he fixed a botched color from another salon. This time, I told him the color I wanted, and he blended it perfectly with my dark roots. Leo is professional, punctual, and really pays attention to detail. He takes his time with cuts and color to make sure it works for you. The salon felt welcoming and comfortable, which made it easy to ask for exactly what I wanted, even with my hair being a bit thinner since having a child. A heads-up: Color with bleach takes about 6-7 hours; they provide snacks while you wait. Venmo is the preferred payment option. There's 1hr street parking right in front. The salon is on the pricier side, but totally worth it if you want your hair done right the first time.

    I went in today to get my hair dyed, and once again Leo and 阿Min totally exceeded my expectations. I've been a loyal, returning client, and every visit just reminds me why I keep coming back. Drive from South Bay to Millbrae is a long journey This time, I planned for a champagne golden pink tone with a French bob, which is not an easy color--but they nailed it. The color turned out beautifully: soft, elegant, and exactly what I imagined. Everyone in the salon was so kind and welcoming. 阿Min is always incredibly sweet--she brought me snacks and was so gentle, patient, and detailed throughout the entire bleaching and layering process. You can really feel how much care she puts into every step. Leo's expertise and vision made the whole look come together perfectly. The whole process took from 11am to 7pm, so yes, it was a long day--but 100% worth it. I never felt rushed, and they made sure everything was done carefully and right. I highly recommend Leo, 阿Min, and the whole team if you're looking for professional, thoughtful, and genuinely caring stylists. I will definitely be back again!

    After moving home from college i struggled to find a good stylist with the skills to do my hair. A different stylist messed up my hair before i found Leo. We did a color correction and the results from Leo were stunning. When i initially went to Leo he gave me his honest opinion and told me to wait a few months before seeing him to do the color correction because it could possibly compromise my hair quality. I really appreciate his professional opinion and advice instead of just taking on another client because business is business. i was in his chair from 10am to 8pm. him and his team are very meticulous about my color correction process. He knows how to do Asian hair type very well and got me lighter than i had expected. He also provided snacks for me. it is bit pricy but the results are worth it and guaranteed. Leo has a real good eye for beauty and raw talent for coloring hair. No one has gotten me this light in a long while. He also trimmed the split ends off my hair after the service and helped me clean up my uneven bangs as part of the service. Parking is all 2 hour limit around the salon. You would need to park up the hill in residential area and walk down to them.

    Long layer haircut from Jason at L2

    This was my second visit here, and I can confidently say you really can't go wrong with any of the stylists! This time I saw Jason, and he was incredible. He took the time to look at my inspiration pictures but didn't just copy them--he tailored the cut to my specific facial features. I loved that I could ask questions throughout the process and we collaborated on a few minor adjustments that made the final look even better. I'm actually heading out for Coachella today, and I had zero stress about getting a fresh cut right before my trip because I knew I was in good hands. I am so happy with the results! Thank you, Jason, for doing such an amazing job. I'll definitely be back!

    Got bleach color and had a great experience!

    Got bleach color and had a great experience! The people there were so kind and patient with explaining what they will do to my hair and was honest about how my hair won't be completely even because my hair was bleached previously. They even fixed my haircut and made it look nice and my head feels so much lighter but still get to keep the length. Will definitely come again! The salons itself was also really clean and well maintained. It was also nice how they had a little table for their clients for when they have food. Oh and parking was easy to find, came extra early thinking I will have trouble finding parking but I was wrong, so also great location!

    My damaged bleached hair after 1 week and a half when they "fixed" it.

    Been a minute since I've decided to post about my experience. Truthfully, someone else suggested for me to go somewhere else to get a balayage or a new hair color but I wanted to do it here since I've been here 2-3 times already and I had a good experience so I trusted them. For reference, I never had my hair bleached or a balayage before. From the day I made my appointment, I asked for the price of balayage of the reference photo I included, one of the main stylist said $450 and $65 for haircut. Ok, I brought the exact amount in cash cause I've saved up at least 3-4 months worth of money. Its hella expensive but like I said, I trusted them. On the day of my appointment, the guy who was gonna do my hair was like "ok ur hair $490 because of length" and I just said yes cause I was already on that chair. its not like I can negotiate. they started at 10am and at first I was wondering why they were putting foil on my hair. I've had my hair colored before but never bleached so I thought it wasn't gonna last long or that I wasnt aware my hair was getting bleached but boy, I was wrong. I sat on that chair with heavy foils on my head from 11am-4pm. The guy who was supposed to help me kept helping other people so I had to call someone else cause it was hurting my neck and head. When they removed the foils, I wondered why my hair was blonde and the nice lady reassured me it was gonna be colored. When she colored it, I didn't notice the grey at all cause it was dark and I said ok to it. When the guy blow dried my hair, thats when I saw the grey. It was all grey, like all ash grey on top of my hair and I was internally freaking out. I was on the chair from 10am to 7pm till when they closed. I just wanted to go home and cry cause I spent a lot of money that I saved up for something they damaged. I came back the next day and tried to tell a guy, who I'm guessing is their main stylist. I couldnt tell if he was nice or rude but he kept talking over me and kept telling me "ok ok ok ok i'll fix it" without telling me how he will fix it so I had to ask before they butcher my hair again. I couldnt fully explain how I felt and what was wrong cause he kept cutting me off. I told them I honestly didnt know I was gonna get bleached cause I've never done it. I wish they could have told me that beforehand so I could've chosen something else. The guy who did my hair had the audacity to ask me "you dont like?" i said no, and he said "well other people like it." so im supposed to like it cause of that reason? I also asked the girl what was happening to my hair and she was talking nicely to me till the main stylist decided to stomp over and talk in chinese and I could tell the girl was trying to calm him down which I didnt understand why they're the ones acting that way, like theyre the ones annoyed. I understand the language barrier but it was so rude. the main stylist was even kinda rough handling my hair. They somewhat fixed the color but my hair is so damaged. They gave me a free olaplex but thats just to cover up that they damaged my hair. Overall, the color they "fixed" on me is pretty much gone and my hair is so damaged that I have to buy multiple products just to fix it. At this point, everybody's just telling me to cut my hair. The whole experience was so frustrating and language barrier or not, learn how to communicate what youre gonna do to your client. Never again.

    What i asked for

    I am literally not a person to complain but this was a little too much of an experience. I booked on instagram and sent the photo of what I wanted and my current hair situation. No questions was asked. only appointment date and cost. As soon as I got in they made me feel so uncomfortable. I was booked for no bleach knowing that I have dark hair and told them about previous dye. They started sighing so much and showing some irritation the whole service. On top of that, another person came after me. She (mandarin speaker) was greeted with very nice service the whole time I was there. The difference of the service was so obvious. For the hair , I specifically asked for the dark red but I got some burgundyish color. Didn't even try to even out the color even though I agreed to pay for the bleaching process (gave me a discount for bleaching once, literally could not care less, I really just want my hair done properly ) Will not come back nor recommend

    My new hair
    Aubrey Z.

    I've been to so many salons that just don't get Asian hair--and honestly, it's been traumatic. One stylist cut my hair so short it took two years to grow back into a bob. I lived in hats and wigs during that time. I had so much trouble trusting anyone with my hair after that. My previous stylist in Redondo Beach was amazing, and I think they spoiled me--I thought everyone in the industry knew what they were doing. Clearly, that's not the case. But then I found Leo at L2 Beauty Salon, and I'm so glad I took a chance. After seeing so many examples of his work, I decided to book with him--and I'm very happy I did. I went in for a cut to fix the damage done by my last stylist. Without me even needing to explain, Leo knew exactly what went wrong and how to fix it. Since I'm trying to grow my hair out, he worked his magic without going shorter, just cleaning it up and restoring shape. I also wanted a bold color--platinum on top with my natural dark hair underneath for contrast. Leo helped design the look, and his colleague (who had short hair and was super sweet--sorry I didn't catch your name!) started the bleaching process. I've bleached my hair many times and knew it would take a while, but they were so attentive throughout--constantly checking to make sure my hair stayed healthy and wasn't over-processed. The result? Absolutely stunning. This is the lightest, brightest platinum I've ever had. Most salons have only managed a medium blonde on me, but this? This is next-level. They clearly knew what they were doing and weren't afraid to go bold, knowing my hair could handle it. All the other stylists at L2 looked very capable as well after watching them work all day. Thank you L2 for rescuing my hair, and thank you for the yummy snacks in between! I'll definitely be back.

    Bayalage from black hair to pink/brownish

    Jason did an awesome job with my bayalage and cut. Leo got the color to match exactly what was in the photo I showed them. The assistant (my fault for not asking for her name) is super hospitable and nice. I have gotten so many genuine compliments from random people. This was my first time visiting this establishment and I believe I'll be a returning customer for sure. Thank you, L2 Team!

    Milk Tea Ash Brown Balayage

    Got my hair dyed today by Leo and his team they were super nice. My hair before only had highlighted bleach. I wanted to try Milk tea colors and it came out really pretty! He also styled it and gave me and my friend snacks! Would recommend!

The place itself is also very clean, professional, and welcoming. Plus, they even have the cutest dog that greets you when you walk in, which instantly makes the whole experience feel warm and relaxing. I used to always get a deep therapeutic massage, but the owner, Kat, recommended I try the deep tissue with pressure point treatment. Ever since then, I can't go back to a regular massage. Lilly, the masseuse, is absolutely incredible. She is not only highly skilled but also extremely intuitive and attentive. You can tell she has years of experience and truly understands the body on a deeper level. I was so impressed by how knowledgeable and informative she was throughout the entire session. She checked in, explained what she was doing, and made sure the pressure was exactly right. I told her where I felt sore, and she immediately knew where the pain was really coming from. It honestly felt like she could read my muscles. I KID YOU NOT -- I walked out painless and completely satisfied. I felt like a whole new person. She also suggested adding cupping, which was a total game changer. I've tried cupping before at other places, but Lilly placed the cups exactly on the areas with restricted blood flow. You could actually see which areas turned purple afterward -- those were exactly where my pain was coming from. Her technique was precise, thoughtful, and clearly done with expertise. What stood out the most is how caring and passionate she is about helping people who are in pain. She made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns, and genuinely wanted me to feel better -- not just during the massage, but afterward too. It's rare to find someone who combines skill, knowledge, and compassion the way she does. I highly recommend this place. Definitely request Lilly and ask for the deep tissue with pressure point treatment. You'll leave pain-free, relaxed, satisfied, and overall happy.
