I moved down to Los Angeles from the Bay Area in order to be with my long-time Girlfriend. When I…read moremoved, she informed me that I would no longer be getting haircuts at Supercuts, and that it was time for me to get a big boy haircut. My girlfriend had been frequenting a certain off-of-Melrose hair studio, and recommended that I check that place out too. My first time there, I was blown away by the service provided. I mean, seriously, they wash your hair for you? How crazy is that?? No more Supercuts for me. I was hooked. My first time there, I had an appointment with the tyrannical owner of the salon, who shall remain nameless. She wasn't bad, but that was the last time she cut my hair. The second time I called for an appointment, the inglorious owner was not available, and I was handed off to Rosa. And I've stuck with her ever since, for two years now. Rosa recently decided to unshackle herself from the harsh working conditions of the before mentioned off-of-Melrose hair studio and its unnamed despotic owner, and now she's got herself a brand spanking new salon all her own at the pretty darn awesome salon spaces provided by Salon Republic. Now down to why Rosa deserves all my 5 stars. She's super nice, and is an excellent conversationalist. She lived in the Bay Area for a while, so we can relate to each other pretty well. She is very experienced, with more than 20 years worth of cutting hair under her belt. If hair styling was a martial art, she'd be a black belt several times over, for sure. I always get tons of compliments on my hair after seeing Rosa, so you know she does a good job. My hair is rather difficult to work with, but Rosa really took her time figuring out the best way to handle it, and now she's a pro. As long as I'm living in LA (and as long as she's working here too), I will be getting my hair did by Rosa. Check her out!

Rosa's been my go-to since I found her through lifebooker in Fall 2011 - and I have never strayed!…read moreBesides being stellar at what she does, she's approachable, hilarious and very easy to talk to - which is important when I'm sitting in a chair for several hours. In regards to her expertise, she'll always gives her opinion of the pictures I bring in and is honest about how it would or wouldn't work for me. She's great at communicating her plan before going to work and is dedicated in making sure her vision aligns with mine. At her new location in Salon Republic, be sure to park in the structure and get 2 hour free validation before leaving the salon. What's ideal about her new place is it's all Rosa's! So no more having to worry about who's working at the station next to her - gossip and tell all the uncensored stories you'd like!!

What a surprise this experience was! Vamp Salon is located inside this building that houses many…read moreprivate rooms that are used as individual hair or facial salons/booths. Fascinating and private, which made it really personal and relaxing. You don't have to deal with other people's chatter. Jenna, the stylist, is really talented and very professional. She did an all over color with the gloss finish and also cut my hair into a precise blunt cut. When I came to her, my highlighted hair was very dry, white roots showing, and my previous cut from another salon grew out all weird. I had the feeling that this was due to a bad cut. Jenna validated my suspicion. She did her magic first by picking a great new color, making my hair shiny and natural looking. Then the piece d'resistance was the haircut. Wow, she really major corrected it! Two days later and I am feeling so light-headed, confident of my new inverse bob. So easy to style! Jenna is also a very neat hair washer. My face was NOT framed in color stains, like what usually happens in other salons. She blow dries nicely and knows that I don't like wearing my hair all flat. As far as the processing time; that was relaxing too coz we were just watching a funny old school movie through Hulu----"Summer Rental" with John Candy. The TV was in front of me. It made time go by quickly. Jenna uses quality products that are catered to the condition of your hair and your preferences. She's such a hard worker, but she cares about the outcome of her work and that her customer is satisfied. Highly recommended and I found a new and excellent stylist!!! Thank you Jenna! You are so awesome!!!

This place accepts flexi dollars for LMU students, and that's the only reason why I made an…read moreappointment there for 2 of my friends and myself. The place is small, ghetto looking and somewhat dirty, I walked in and tried not to think anything too negative- afterall, this was my first time here. Even though we were on time for our appointment, we had to wait 10-15 mins which is annoying when you're a busy college student and have hours of homework ahead of you!! The haircuts themselves were average or below average. Then my haircutter told me that she was "done" when my hair was still wet! Umm, have you ever left a hair salon with your hair still wet? No, of course not. Blow dry my hair, straigthen it if i tell you too, and put all the products in it. So I was surprised and told her to please dry the rest of my hair. She looked at me funny and did what i asked her to do, but the real shock came when i had to pay. The bill was $65 dollars!! wtf!! for a subpar haircut in a dirty environment, and for a blow dry which you're supposed to do anyways! My other 2 friends did not have their hair dried, and their bills were $40 and $45 dollars which is still way to expensive. This place should be charging $25 bucks or less with that kind of service and environment. I will definitely not go back here ever again, I was dissappointed. And it was super expensive! That's like 3 tanks of gas!

So grateful to be the first review. Tifany is not only the very best hair stylist I've ever met,…read morebut also one of the best humans I've ever met. Tifany has been at the top of the hair world for a long long time, in LA, Santa Barbara and in Dallas long before. Her knowledge is so layered and colored (figuratively) with so much real life experience in her field. She is someone who has the most in depth knowledge of styling, cutting and coloring EVEN if I only go to her for my cuts. I have been privy to see her work with hundreds of clients before and after my appointments who see her for a ton of different reasons and all of them are equally ecstatic with her work. My haircut itself is perfect, just perfect. A hair cut for me was never that big of a deal until I got the very best and then everything changed. Getting a hair cut is now something I look forward to more than almost anything else in my life, because I walk out of there fresh and that bleeds into everything else I do. A perfect haircut instills confidence and pride in your psyche . Tifany herself is a one of the kindest humans, a true role model and mentor. I can almost cry writing this because that is how much of a support she has been in my life. She doesn't have to be so kind and understanding BUT she just is. She has championed me through everything I have done and every hurdle I've had to jump over and Wall I've had to barrel through. Please contact me if you ever have any doubts about making her your stylist and I will take an hour of your day talking this girl up

One star is not even deserved. My hair is an absolute tragedy. My experience was a living…read morenightmare. I will never be going back to Yvette and would recommend you to steer clear of her services. I will further explain... *On Groupon it states "Haircut and Balayage for $89" I called Yvette to ask about her availability before purchasing the Groupon & when I mentioned to her that I would be purchasing the Groupon she told me not to purchase it and that she would HONOR the price stated on Groupon. *After booking my appointment she asked for a current picture of my hair & a picture of the end result that I wanted. I sent her this via text messages. *The day of my appointment I showed her additional pictures. Yvette had a clear understating of the color (caramel brown) balayage and haircut that I wanted. *Yvette began dying my hair & after she finished rinsing it she decided to let me know of the price change. She would be charging me $120 instead of $89 because I have a lot of hair apparently. This information would have been useful before she began dying my hair. *She then went on to say that she will remove the part that states "haircut" from her post on Groupon because it's too much. She clearly did not want to cut my hair. She only trimmed the tips despite the fact that I had sent her PICTURES days in advance showing her my HAIR LENGTH & the hair length that I wanted. Again, this information would have been useful to inform me when I first arrived to the salon and showed her additional pictures. *Bottom line, I felt tricked into her services. I did not get the hair cut that I wanted OR the hair color that I wanted. It was a complete disaster. My hair color looked cheap, as if it had just been bleached. It was so yellow that I had to purchase a hair box dye from Wallgreens and re-dye my hair myself the next day. *I would not mind spending $120 if the end results were what I wanted and asked for. I'm very disappointed. I wasted my time and money. Lastly, I also let her know that I have a tender new piercing in my ear and to please be careful, yet she yanked it very hard with the comb. It hurt alot and was swollen the following day. My over all experience was awful. Save yourself and go anywhere else but here.

It's not that I haven't tried to find someone here in Dallas, because I have, but Natisse just cuts my hair better than anyone I've ever been to. She started cutting my hair when it was very short and now it's shoulder-length. You can always tell a good stylist by how well they can cut short hair because if a short haircut is bad there isn't anything you can do to cover it up besides wear a hat! My hair also has a weird wave to it and Natisse also cuts it so that the waves fall well rather than frizz out. Basically, I recommend Natisse HIGHLY!!!!!!!
