    Extensions came out amazing!
    Jackie L.

    Came here to get some extensions. I was super nervous but Vic did an amazing job. He made me really comfortable, and my hair looks amazing! Definitely recommend trusting him with all your hair needs!

    Jilian has been doing my hair for many years now and I can't rave enough about the magic she creates. I've loved every single iteration we've explored. When I first started working with her she took me blond - and prevented me from making a few bad decisions along the way that would've created the blond I thought I wanted but wouldn't have suited me in the least.  Now I've been red for several years - an amplification of my strawberry blond ish natural color and callback to my 3 year old self - and just might stay that way forever.  We've experimented with a range of red and have figured out the perfect seasonal tweaks that result in constant compliments - and plenty of comments on my "natural" red hair - even when I go too long between touch ups and feel like my roots are obvious. Again - cannot recommend working with Jillian enough!

    6 months after a Diana cut - appt for color is soon!
    Becky C.

    Diana is truthfully the ONLY hair stylist I have ever worked constantly with because she is incredibly talented, cares about what you want, is crazy consistent. And she's also darling - authentic, good and kind. They say a good haircut grows out well here's a 6 month photo and I still love it. Thank you Diana

    I've been seeing JILLIAN for 7+ years. At this point you couldn't pay me to have anyone else touch my hair. She has perfected my blonde highlights to be natural and be beachy and everything I could dream of. I've been burned in the past by hair dressers and Jillian has instead taken her time during EACH visit to talk through what I want to do and how she is going to achieve it. She is a master at what she does all while making the salon chair a comfortable and enjoyable place to get glowed up.

    Jillian is amazing and the only person I trust with my hair. I have followed her from other salons over the last 6 years I've been seeing her. If you are blonde, she is THE expert!!! Even if you are not, her cuts and color are on point and she has never steered me wrong. I've referred other friends over the years and they all love her. I constantly get complements on my hair, thanks to her. She is the best!

    Blonde by Jillian

    Today was my first time at Maximus. It was also the first sunny Saturday in a long time (it has been raining for months!!), so I was a little hesitant to spend my morning cooped up in a salon, but this location was so cute and close to the beach, I didn't mind at all! The ocean breeze and people watching was amazing. I came a little early to scope out the neighborhood- love it! Jillian gave me partial highlights and a light trim. She is an amazing colorist and stylist when it comes to my thick, coarse blonde hair. With past hairdressers, I found my hair would come out more brassy than I wanted, but this blonde by Jillian is utter perfection. As a bonus, Jillian is a complete riot. Highly recommend Jillian!

    I loved the location of this salon, with so many cute restaurants nearby and so close to the beach. Additionally, I've been going to Jillian for at least four years, and she consistently gives me gorgeous color that grows out beautifully. My hair is naturally a dark blond, and I'm always impressed with how she brightens my locks so they're light and beachy but still compliment my skin tone. I also appreciate her honest feedback - she'll talk over different ideas for a cut and color, and always provides honest, professional feedback. I trust Jillian to make my hair look stunning while keeping it healthy!

    Jillian has worked her magic on my hair since 2019 and I was more than happy to follow her to Maximus Salon. She's incredible with color - especially blondes. She always gives the best recommendations and takes such good care of my hair. And the haircuts are always on point. Her clients stay with her for a long time and I never hesitate recommending her! Also, love this salon location. Such a cute spot in Hermosa with great parking and local eateries. Go see Jillian!

    Super Busy Salon (all stations are filled with clients)
    Kimberly L.

    [Review #282] 2018 Yelp 100 Challenge (47/100) I found Lucy/Maximus Salon through Groupon (I purchased the haircut, conditioning treatment, & full highlights package) because I was looking for a new relationship after my stylist retired (we've been together for almost 20 years). I was ready to find someone new but not quite willing to put out full cost since hairs relationships are temperamental & finding someone that "gets" you is challenging. I explained my situation to Lucy & how I'm looking to find someone that I can trust with my hair while relying on her expertise to execute a great hair makeover... & booked an appointment a couple of weeks later. Maximus Salon is located on the busy Pier Ave. in Hermosa Beach. I was nervous about finding parking in that section of the city... but luck was on my side (it was slightly raining & not too many people were out) & scored a space directly opposite of the entrance. YES! Upon entry, it was a minute before I was greeted, & it was my stylist that welcomed me. After she finished with her client, she sat me down & we had a good discussion about what I need & what I'm open to. Lucy gave me various options based on my hair type & the length that I'm hoping to achieve. I liked that it wasn't rushed so I knew going into the chair that she'll take care of me. Lucy is personable & kept up a steady stream of conversation about family. The struggles are real! I likened my worries to hers except mine aren't realized whereas she's living it now. She's definitely a hardworking mom trying to provide for her girls. I admire her tenacity & strength... does that translate to her work? Yes, for the most part. After slightly 2 hours in her chair, she trimmed off a couple of inches & sheared the weight off (there was a lot of hair that was swept up afterwards); I'm not sure what the conditioning treatment entailed but conditioner was used after the shampoo (treatments with my former stylist usually meant sitting under a lamp for about 10 minutes to allow the hair follicles to absorb the conditioner); the full highlights covered some of my grays (which I had hoped for more coverage but that wasn't my package; though I wished there was more highlights on the sides to cover where most of my grays were). My cut is current & flexible for different parting (left, right, or center) or updos. The dark brown is subtle so it's not obvious that I colored my hair. Is that a good thing or bad thing? H was the 1st to see my new look & she liked it. She wasn't "wowed" by it but that's ok. She is impressed enough by Lucy's skills to wonder if she does children's cuts (she does); H will consider a cut after she grows out her hair for her Halloween costume/character. My last cut transformed me so much that my Infant son didn't recognize me & thought I was a stranger (either that or he has poor eyesight). It wasn't until he was close enough to smell my scent that he said "Mommy!" My husband thought I looked great... he says that even with bedhead so his opinion can't be trusted (but I love him anyways). Maximus Salon was bustling this weekend, every station was occupied. Space is tight (no elbow room here) & there's no formal reception/lounge area. There's 2 chairs in the middle of the salon or you may sit by the heat lamps, where there's a small coffee table with magazines for your viewing pleasure, if you're early for your appointment. While space is short, the salon is efficient in its use & kept clean. If you're looking for a hair makeover, come to Maximus Salon & ask for Lucy. She's responsive & prompt (during booking process via text) & professional (answered questions to my satisfaction & didn't push me for her next client). She takes time to get to know you & discuss options before taking the plunge so you'll get a cut that's about you & not what the stylist wants (unless you gave permission to have at it). There's so much personality in hair that it takes awhile in the relationship for a stylist to understand its temperament. My trusted (now retired) former stylist got me but it wasn't from the get-go; however, when she got me, I basically let her have her way & she never disappointed. My 1st time here was good, almost great even, but it could use some improvement though I'm not sure what that is yet. I'm grateful that Lucy's local (I followed my former stylist to Sherman Oaks) & hoping this budding relationship will work because I'm ready to commit. Tip: There's free parking spaces behind the salon on Oak St. You're welcome. =)

    Jillian is the best stylist for blonde in LA! I have been seeing Jillian for over 8 years and she is so talented. A true artist, she really understands color and depth (and for blonde - making it as natural as possible!!) she spends time making sure everything is perfect and always indulges my crazy ideas but also just knows what to do when I'm feeling flat. Go see Jillian if you want gorgeous hair!!!

    Ask for Jillian, she is a legit talented artist and hair color expert. She's been doing my hair for years and all my different stages of life. I've gone from brunette to blond and back again and I always trust her color advice. She pays attention to keeping hair healthy and transitioning the right way. I'm loving the way this cool (icy) blond hue has been turning out, now with more tone and depth. I'm ready for vacation! She just landed in this great salon with coffee shops and fun eateries all around. If you want flawless color, ask for Jillian!

Unfortunately, from the moment I arrived, the experience was disappointing. Viki was on her phone when I walked in and barely acknowledged me. Before the appointment, I had texted her pictures of my hair along with several Pinterest inspiration photos, but when I showed them again in person, she acted as if she had never seen them. Even though she said she could do what I wanted, her attitude was dismissive and negative throughout. She made it seem like she was doing me a favor by taking the appointment, even though that was the time her boss had scheduled. Her tone and demeanor made the entire experience uncomfortable, and I ended up leaving before the service even started. I left feeling deflated and doubting what I had originally wanted to do with my hair. It was clear she did not want to work that evening, but if that was the case, a quick text or reschedule would have saved us both time. On a positive note, when I called her boss afterward, she was very kind, apologetic, and understanding. Overall, this was an incredibly disappointing encounter, especially considering how many great stylists there are in the South Bay. Try someone else at the salon who has a better attitude.
