    Before and after pics!
    Liz Q.

    I enthusiastically recommend Lauren for all your hair color and cut needs. After failing the last few times to get what I wanted out of a hair cut and color, I found Lauren and I am SO GLAD I did. She took time to understand what I was looking for, asking the right questions and helping to guide the conversation. She even discussed options for maintenance and touch up for down the line. The before and after pictures speak for themselves!!!! I am extremely happy with the results and can't recommend Lauren enough.

    My very first cut from Kaitlynn!
    Jade D.

    Kaitlynn has been my hair gurl for 5+years! I'm not one to commit to a stylist. I used to walk into a salon and the next available would take care of my hair. What was I thinking?!? It wasn't until I moved to LA that I decided to be an adult about my hair needs. Kaitlynn came recommended from a friend and it was love at first cut and color! I've definitely stayed in the safe lane when it came to color (corporate day job) and Kaitlynn always keeps my best interest in mind. BUT when I'm feeling the bright colors she will def get me there, always better than expected, and always SFW! P.S. She also did my hair for my wedding.

    Mermaid hair by Kaitlynn
    Kristine G.

    Super excited for more access to my hair magician, Kaitlynn! I've followed her through many different places over the years and she's in this salon a few days a week. I fell into cycles of abusing, cutting, and growing out my hair over periods of 2 years per cycle, and it was awful. Then thankfully I found out Kaitlynn was back in LA and doing hair. She worked with me to fix, grow out, and finally cut all the damaged hair off. I always wanted unicorn mermaid hair and could never do it. I have really thick black Asian hair. Kaitlynn was able to lighten it easily and because she did it properly, I've been able to keep my hair long. It hasn't turned into frizzy limp corn hair that breaks off, which was what usually happened before. And also because of this, when the color washes out, my hair still looks nice. But even better, she can easily apply new colors whenever I go back for a refresh! Her touch with colors is beyond amazing. I give her a vague idea of what I'm thinking and trust her judgment, and not only am I never disappointed, I'm usually blown away. She is very nice and makes me feel good while we talk when she does my hair, but then continues to make me feel good about myself after because she makes me into a shiny pretty magical girl. I won't let anyone else touch my hair again!

    It's always a little nerve-wracking to get a haircut, especially a new style from a new stylist. But Michelle immediately put me at ease, listened to my ideas, made suggestions, and ultimately gave me a fabulous, low-maintenance cut. In the process, she was so upbeat and confident, that it boosted my outlook and confidence! Who could ask for more?

    Lauren White is AMAZING! she did my balayage and cut and I couldn't be happier. Their quarantine rules put me at ease I felt safe the whole time and it was a great experience. She really puts care into you're hair I came out of it with shiny healthier hair even after color process! Highly recommend her services

    The beautiful we walked out with!

    This place is truly a gem. So thankful that I was referred here by a friend after my daughter had a major hair disaster at another salon right before a semi-formal at school. Michelle spent 5 hours with us after scheduling a last minute appointment and transformed the mess that we had. When we left, my daughter said she loved Michelle and wanted to be best friends. She makes any and everyone feel so comfortable. She talked through every step with us and made sure we understood what was happening. I then switched over to her for my own hair needs, as well as bringing in my boyfriend for his first real haircut in at least 10 years. We are Lock & Crown fans for life.

    I LOVE this salon! These ladies REALLY know what they are doing! If you want some expert color, this is the place to go! Steph is amazing!

    15 years of hair = every color in the rainbow

    When you want to experiment, have fun and not have your hair break off from over processing or bad maintenance, it takes commitment and a sprinkle of glitter from your hair magician. It's been 15+ years of hair love between Kaitlynn and my curly locks. It started off with my search for the right person to trust with my curls. Little did I know I would go from long, dark, curly hair to trying every cut, color and style I couldn't yet imagine. Much of the success of my insane hair has been the great care and recommendations I've gotten from Kaitlynn for both cuts and colors. Typically I give little to no direction and let her do whatever she really wants, but when I have a hankering or have seen something I like we discuss it and make sure it's the best thing to move forward with. If a cut or color won't work or requires some process, we go over what that will be and what I need to do on my end in between our appointments. One thing I constantly clarify to people is that the time and effort .. and money I spend on my hair is worth the results. It's also a process. Working up to all the colors and color transitions isn't an easy feat. A huge part of all of it is having the right hair magician, and with my obvious commitment and constant recommendations to others to go see Kaitlynn, it's a testament to the trust I put in her and the great work she does. You don't need to have a want for crazy hair, just the want to have hair you're in love with. My pictures highlight the base I started with, the transition to the right shade of blonde to work with and then infuse with colors. These are some of my favourite cuts, styles and colors; what always astonishes people is how healthy my hair looks and feels. I've followed Kaitlynn all these years (literally) because the few others I ever did let touch my hair were a HUGE let down and I'm excited to see her at Lock & Crown. The space has the right vibe and is easily accessible. Everyone is welcoming and hospitable and I love the mix of clientele that comes through. ps. special occasion styling for weddings and quinceaneras, etc. are also in her wheelhouse.. the peacock color/style was for my 2nd quinceanera

Grace immediately got to work after we communicated what I was looking for, using the reference photos she asked for along with her own input as a hush cut specialist. The salon itself is very clean, airy, and modern. Despite looking small from the outside, it doesn't feel small at all. There's no strong chemical smell from hair dyes, ammonia, or bleach, which I really appreciated. The staff are super friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. I would definitely come back again in the future. After the cut, my confidence level boosted so much. Thank you Grace.

I reached out before booking a $500-$600 hair service because I genuinely care about my hair and wanted to be thoughtful before committing. I asked straightforward questions about how many sessions it might take, how long it would take, pricing, and how my hair health would be handled. These were not abstract questions. They were about my own hair and my own money. At first, I was told I could come in for a more direct consultation. When I followed up and asked when a good time would be, the tone changed. I was told this is "not an educational organization," that questions about my own hair should be directed to my previous stylist, and that consultations were not available because they were "too busy," especially on Fridays and Saturdays. That honestly caught me off guard, especially after being encouraged to come in. It started to feel like asking questions at all was unwelcome. What bothered me wasn't that they were busy. I get that. It was how I was shut down. Instead of simply saying we might not be the right fit, the responses felt dismissive and made it seem like I was being difficult for wanting clarity. I stayed polite the entire time and never asked for anything unreasonable. I just didn't want to walk in blind. This experience was especially disappointing because I chose this salon intentionally after reading negative reviews and believing the public responses showed care and accountability. I understand every business has bad reviews and nobody is perfect. But after this interaction, those reviews suddenly made a lot more sense. I'll be honest: I almost booked based on the photos alone. The work looks beautiful. But talent isn't the only thing that matters. Integrity, communication, and having a client's best interest in mind matter just as much. Sharing this so others know to read beyond the pictures and decide for themselves what kind of experience they want. No one should feel small or brushed off for asking questions before paying for a service.

He wasn't necessarily mean either but just kind of awkward. I didn't really feel like I was welcomed or belonged.
